In the meantime, I'll setup a way to build using an older sdk on the el capitan macbook pro.

I'm not even certain I made that impossible, right now, building for OSX is a five-step procedure for me:

* install Qt
* build and install the dependencies from krita/3rdparty's cmake definitions
* build and install krita itself and fix the boost rpath issues
* run the patched macdeployqt that also deploys the hundred or so extra plugins
* run a makefile to make a nice dmg

It works for me and gives an okay app bundle that's not really big, so I'm happy for now. Apart from the need to support other versions of OSX.

Are you talking about *that* OpenGL 2.0? Apple would have stripped out support for older OpenGL features instead of simply not supporting newer additions? I'm not sure I like what that implies, the no-longer-eternal underdog attaining a MS-like position where they can dictate random decisions on the big software houses rather than depend on how far those are willing to rewrite their software for the Mac. (And I already wasn't liking their hardware decisions ... :-/)

What I specifically mean is that Apple's drivers do not support Compatibility Profiles for any OpenGL version, only Core Profiles. That means that if you need something from OpenGL v3, like we do, you can no longer use Qt's OpenGL-based QPainter engine (and that's just an example).
