Hi Shabeer,
Agar does not use Carbon at all. I think that definition was put there
either as a work around a bug in an older version of OSX or an SDL 1.2
specific issue.
Can you try removing -fpascal-strings and TARGET_API_MAC_CARBON from the
compilation flags? It should be on line 865 of CMakeChecks.cmake (in the
Check_Cocoa() macro).
I'll see if I can borrow a laptop with a more recent MacOS on it in the
next few days and test it myself (most of my Mac laptops are PowerPC and
my one Intel Mac has a blown video card) so I haven't tested the CMake
compilation method on recent MacOS yet.
By the way, I'm working on setting up the IRC channel and tunnel as
we've discussed, it should be ready in a couple of days.
Thanks!

Since Apple has deprecated support for Carbon apps I guess it can no

helpful tips I got from elsewhere online:

catalina is 10.15.* and your are using sdk MacOSX11.1, the gap between

TARGET_API_MAC_CARBON correctly

So perhaps for macOS the build system needs to be modified to detect
what SDK is available and accordingly offer to compile ---with-carbon
support or only compile --with-cocoa ?

I tried to build and compile the latest version and got some errors..
Not sure if I did something wrong as I am not familiar with CMake.
This is what I did after cloning the repository:
1. Created a new directory called 'build' in the source directory.
2. Ran cmake .. (in 'build' directory; it generated the makefiles
and copied the source)
3. Ran Make (in 'build' directory)
4. Build failed with lots of warning and 6 errors (See here -
https://bpa.st/2DLA <https://bpa.st/2DLA> - only copied the errors)..
(I am on macOS Catalina 10.15.7, with cmake version 3.24.4 and Apple
clang version 12.0.0 (clang-1200.0.32.29)).
Thanks,
Shabeer
