Hi guys,

I know that Qt 5.6 compiles with an SDK as old as 10.8 (we've ensured that with Thiago Maciera and Jake Petroules) but I can't confirm for 10.7 as I don't remember the outcome of our IRC chat about that.

@Boudwijn, do you maybe have a small shell script for the steps you use to build the Krita package ? That way I can try on my system which still runs on 10.8
