cd: set MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET to 10.7
The binary release of delta 0.4.5 for macOS created by the "Continuous Deployment" GitHub Actions workflow does not run on older macOS, like 10.11 (El Capitan) [1]. The Rust compiler, rustc, by default, will build macOS binaries compatible with macOS 10.7 or newer [2], [3], but some *-sys crates invoke a C compiler and thus will target the macOS version the C compiler is running on [4], thus limiting the compatibility of the resulting binary. The macOS virtual machines used on GitHub Actions run macOS 10.15.7, and since delta depends on some *-sys crates, the delta binary built by cargo targets macOS 10.15, as can be verified by using the following command: $ otool -l ./target/x86_64-apple-darwin/release/delta | grep LC_BUILD_VERSION -A4 cmd LC_BUILD_VERSION cmdsize 32 platform 1 sdk 10.15.6 minos 10.15 or, if building locally on an older macOS versions, (here 10.11): $ otool -l ./target/debug/delta | grep LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX -A2 cmd LC_VERSION_MIN_MACOSX cmdsize 16 version 10.11 To restore compatibility with older macOS version, explicitely set the environment variable `MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET` to the default for rustc, "10.7". This will make the `clang` C compiler invoked by *-sys crates also target 10.7, thus restoring the compatibility of the delta binary. For simplicity, add this variable to the environment for all platforms, which should not have any effect on non-macOS platforms.
