Building OpenJFX on Mac OS X 10.9.2 / XCode 5.1 / XCode 4.3.3

[Danno Ferrin]

I use XCodeLegacy http://devernay.free.fr/hacks/xcodelegacy/

The problem is that Xcode 5 doesn’t include the tools to build for 10.7 Lion anymore, and if you are like me and rebuilt a dev env on a clean 10.9 Mavericks mac, you don’t have those old SDKs.  The script will install them for you properly (once you download them from apple).

>> As I’m sure that you guys have valid reasons to stick to 10.7 I think it would not hurt to mention this on the wiki page mentioned above stating that one needs XCode not newer than 4.3.3 and that old XCode versions can be downloaded on the Apple Developer website.
