Please note that building SDL requires at least Xcode 12.2 and the macOS 11.0 SDK.
+If you are getting errors building SDL_mfijoystick.m with Xcode 12.2, find your SDKs
+directory and move MacOSX10.15.sdk out of the way so it isn't accidentally being used
+by the build environment.
+
To use the library once it's built, you essential have two possibilities:
use the traditional autoconf/automake/make method, or use Xcode.
