Xcode: unable to find sdk max osx 10.6

I have Xcode Ver. 11.4 and I am attempting to compile and install an old C++ program that ran just fine in 2011 or so when the Mac operating system was Mountain Lion or Lion. The code compiles cleanlly but i get a linking error: "Unable to find sdk mac osx 10.6". I assume this has someting to do with Mountain Lion or an earlier version of Xcode.

What is my workaround?? I really need to get this code working.

iMac with Retina 5K display, macOS 10.15

Change it to the current SDK. You can leave the deployment set at an older version. As long as you don’t use any fancy Catalina stuff, it will run fine.
