What keeps me in Mojave in my day to day laptop is being able to load 32 bit apps, that is, Pd-Extended :) but I'm not sure if I can install a much newer one in this 10 year old macbook air. By the way, I just recently opened Pd Extended to check if the vbap/rvbap externals worked fine in it, but I guess it's time to let it go.
I have a more robust 'pro' with the latest OS, but also getting quite old (5 years old). Anyway, Not sure we need to worry that much in offering externals that date back so long. I believe most users have more recents OSes. If this has been tested in mac intel, it's fine.
cheers

Which basically means, that the
libfftw3f.3.dylibshipped with the SSR externals was built for a newer version of macOS.https://stackoverflow.com/questions/77380844
many workflows (including mine) use brew to provide build- and runtime-dependencies. Unfortunately, brew (like Apple) only support the last three macOS releases. It's not so trivial to get bottled binaries of your dependencies with am extended life cycle (so you do not have to rebuild the world in your ci/cd system).
Personally (in my projects, so unrelated to SSR), I'm more and more inclined to just tell people that if they want to stick with their shiny apples, they need to play by apple's rules. Luckily, I'm not entirely convinced yet (but it's increasingly hard to reason why unpaid freelance volunteers should invest time and money to keep things from breaking, where those who get the big money are not concerned at all)
