Saved me too! Changed it for Snow Leopard, but this was so useful!
Great, you saved my day :) (OSX 10.9)
Nice Summary.
cmake -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON ./ would do fine too!
worked great on 10.9! However, i did get this alert:
CMake Warning:
Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
GLFW_NATIVE_API
Still was able to build it though!
Thank you so much!
I needed to build GLFW from source to get around an issue in macOS Sierra (GLFW first responder error). By default it only built libglfw3.a. The GLFW build instructions just say “do what you would normally do” — normally I just install it with brew! I had no idea what to do until I found your gist. I just changed the deploy target to 10.12, followed the make with a make install and all was good.
