Error: ld: framework not found AppKit

[coda]

Brand new install of the latest version on macOS need some help. Have installed the same on Linux and windows and both work as expected.

macOS 15.6.1  - after reading the thread here on 15.4 issues did revert to an older xcode-tools (2410) but no improvement.

Issue - built a simple one button test program to test macos install

results in :
===
Compile Project, Target: /Volumes/HdExternal/Users/dzing/temp/project1: Exit code 1, Errors: 3, Warnings: 1
Error: -macosx_version_min has been renamed to -macos_version_min
Warning: ld: warning: support for macOS with 10.0 minimum deployment target is deprecated and will be removed in a future release
Error: ld: framework not found AppKit
An error occurred while linking
Error: Error while linking

Error 1 - environmentoptions.xml has
<ExternalTools Version="3">
   <LinkerOptions Value="-XR/Library/Developer/CommandLinesToos/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk -k-macos_version_min -k13.0"/>
</ExternalTools>

so don't know where the renamed error is coming from.

don't know about the other two errors, so hoping for help.

This looks to be in the wrong forum. Sorry about that. Should be in Installation/MacOS - there are several post with similar issues.  Trying to make sense of them but  tbh its hard going.   

Will some kind admin please move this?

Please not move: we also have to make these changes.
- the version should be set to at least 10.5, not 10, in most cases with up-to-date macos installs even 11 or higher.
- the renaming should be done in versioned code too.
I did that by hand.

It is already answered elsewhere on the forum a couple of (2) months ago. More specific the versioning.
It may already be in trunk, but I have to test that. My macos freepascal trunk is "stale", about two months old.
