Goo Building Mac OS
When you're setting up a Hackintosh, the single most important tool in your process will be the bootloader, which is the program that enables your computer to 'boot' Mac OS X. Ever since the release of OS X El Capitan in 2015, the new Clover Bootloader has rapidly become the most popular bootloader within the Hackintoshing community, and for good reason: compared to the old Chameleon/Chimera. Example build on Mac OS X 10.8.x (Mountain Lion) or 10.9.x (Mavericks), using recommended tools installed as described in: Mac OS X. If is not strictly necessary use full paths, e.g., to compilers, if they are on the PATH, but is recommended good practice. Save the following fragment in a new file, BuildDakota.cmake.
Ever need to know what OS X Build correlates to which version? The simplest way to find out what version your running is in the Terminal with the command sw_vers.

Devices and Mac OS X version
VLC media player requires Mac OS X 10.7.5 or later. It runs on any Mac with a 64-bit Intel processor or an Apple Silicon chip. Previous devices are supported by older releases.

If you need help in finding the correct package matching your Mac's processor architecture, please see this official support document by Apple.
