I thought to download and build LibreCAD on my iMac today, 6/12/2023.  This encountered a problem looking for C++17 as shown below.  I am running OS X version 10.15.7 (Catalina) which is the latest available to me on this old machine.  I am running the latest Xcode also available to me which appears to be c++17 compliant.
About xcode shows  Version 12.4 (12D4e)

I feel this ought to work and that I am not selecting the proper compiler.  

Could that be?

Should I try to fall back to an earlier LibreCAD, or try something else?
