Bug summary

Hi, I'm unable to compile the wheel for Matplotlib 3.7.1 on OS X 10.11.
The latest version of Matplotlib that works with OS X 10.11 is 3.5.3 (since it provides pre-built wheels).
I'm not sure whether the latest version of Matplotlib support OS X 10.11 still, or are there any work-arounds?

Code for reproduction

pip3 install matplotlib

Actual outcome

Something is going wrong in compiling freetype (likely due to a miss-matched --host flag), can you see if the fix in #24168 work for you?

      checking build system type... x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0

I am also not sure if this miss-match is expected or not.

I tried #24168 (comment) and #24168 (comment), but neither of them seems to work for me.

OSX 10.12+ is required now, see here for the details: #22240

Although I agree that traceback is erroring from Freetype and not Matplotlib itself, so there are other issues it looks like you'll face.

Closing as that version of macOS is unsupported.

Feel free to continue discussing workarounds, but there's no need to keep the issue open as there's no action here.

Is OSX 10.12 only required for the macOSx backend? I think it's possible to run Matplotlib without that, so I wonder if we should have an option to skip building that backend for older MacOS machines. Though that is a 7.5 year old operating system, so...

Good point @jklymak, you can edit mplsetup.cfg with macosx = False to skip the macosx backend compilation.

matplotlib/mplsetup.cfg.template

Lines 17 to 26 in 0b4e615

[packages]
# Some of Matplotlib's components are optional: the MacOSX backend (installed
# by default on MacOSX; requires the Cocoa headers included with XCode), and
# the test data (i.e., the baseline image files; not installed by default).
# You can control whether they are installed by uncommenting the following
# lines. Note that the MacOSX backend is never built on Linux or Windows,
# regardless of the config value.
#
#tests = False
#macosx = True

Ah cool, so macosx = False; system_freetype = True should work for an old mac

I download and install the latest version of freetype (2.13.0), and force Matplotlib to use the system freetype when compiling, but is says:
