So, somethings odd with the "zip" command on that Mac, causing it to not
store the execute flag in the zip.

Without having decent access to a Mac its hard to test, but I'm guessing
it needs some flag like -X- or something.

Also, I guess you can put in a "deployment target" somewhere in the
Mac/xcode/cmake build thingie causing it to create binaries that it can
start on older os x.

I didn't expect anyone to start from those sources, frankly (they are automatically put there by GitHub, I don't think I can turn this off). Building Subsurface from non-git sources is actually harder than just from a cloned git repository!

It looks like the latest set is missing the macOS .app.zip file :-(

After reading the Install file I executed cd ~/Software/subsurface/..; bash ~/Software/subsurface/scripts/build.sh -build-deps -desktop from the terminal. As a result, I get the following output.
