Currently we&#39;re working too hard on getting wxWidgets finished (are GUI toolkits ever
finished?) to think very far ahead. However, we know we want to make wxWidgets as robust
and well-publicised as possible. We also want to aim for better platform-independence of
resources such as icons and bitmaps, standardising on PNG and XPM for all platforms.<P>

Other possibilities include: DCOM/CORBA compatibility; a wxWidgets book;
<a href="http://wxworkshop.sourceforge.net/">wxWorkshop</a>, an IDE;
other platforms, especially embedded systems; other interface abilities such as speech output.<P>
<p>
We will investigate the possibility of compiler or operating system vendors bundling wxWidgets with
their product.<P>
The high-level goal of wxWidgets is to be thought of as the number one C++ framework,
for virtually any platform. Move over, MFC!<P>

<h3><a name="release">Where should I download wxMac from?</a></h3>
Please see the <a href="dl_mac2.htm">downloads page</a>.
The version of wxMac in CVS advances quickly so it is recommended that you download the
the sources from the <a href="cvs.htm">CVS trunk</a>.
There is also a wxMac 2.3.1 <a href="dl_mac2.htm#dev">development snapshot</a>.
<P>
The author of this port is <a href="mailto:csomor@advancedconcepts.ch">Stefan Csomor</a>.
<P>
<h3><a name="macplat">Which Mac platforms are supported?</a></h3>
wxWidgets 2 can be used to develop and deliver applications on Classic Mac OS (e.g. Mac OS 8.x/9.x) both as Carbon and non-Carbon applications.
<P>
A Mac OS X port is in progress in order to be able to build wxWidgets applications using the Apple Developer Tools that are delivered with every copy of Mac OS X.
The Mac OS X port is based on and, for the most part, merged with the Carbon code for Classic Mac OS.
<P>
<h3><a name="macosx">How is the Mac OS X port different from the Classic Mac OS port?</a></h3>
wxMac for Mac OS X shares code both with wxMac for Mac OS and common Unix code in wxWidgets. The aim is to use the same Mac OS Carbon code both for Classic Mac OS and for Mac OS X while leveraging the fact that Mac OS X is a BSD Unix.
<P>
This hybrid approach was suggested by Apple to the <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/ports/fizzilla/">Fizzilla</a> team working on <a href="http://www.mozilla.org/">Mozilla</a> for Mac OS X.
<P>
<h3><a name="macclassic">How are improvements to the Classic Mac OS port integrated into the Mac OS X port?</a></h3>
Since the source code is shared between the two ports, any Carbon compliant improvements to wxMac for Classic Mac OS are automatically available in the Mac OS X port.
<P>
The following points should be considered when improving wxMac:
<ul>
<li>Non Carbon compliant changes for Classic Mac OS will most likely break the Mac OS X port. <em>Such changes should be tested using the Carbon targets in the CodeWarrior projects for Classic Mac OS.</em>
<li>Non Carbon compliant changes for Mac OS X will most likely break the Classic Mac OS port. <em>Such changes should be tested using CodeWarrior under Mac OS 8.x/9.x.</em>
</ul>
wxWidgets can be used to develop and deliver applications on Mac OS X and Mac Classic (e.g. Mac OS 8.x/9.x) both as Carbon and non-Carbon applications.
However the Mac OS X port is the most actively developed one, and Mac Classic will not be supported
after 2.6. wxMac works best with Mac OS X 10.3 and above.
<P>
<h3><a name="compilers">What compilers are supported?</a></h3>
Under Classic Mac OS, MetroWerks CodeWarrior Pro 5.3 or 6 are required to build wxMac.
Under Classic Mac OS, MetroWerks CodeWarrior Pro 6 (or above) is required to build wxMac.
<P>
Under Mac OS X, the Developer Tools are sufficient to build wxMac. CodeWarrior Pro 6 can also be used to build the Carbon targets.
<P>
<h3><a name="conflicts">What can I do if I get conflicts between different installed versions of wxWidgets?</a></h3>
Some versions of Mac OS X install an older version of wxMac than the one you may be using
for development. This can cause conflicts, such as link errors when building your
applications. A user reports:<p>
<blockquote>
I got it to work. I removed the original wxMac build-release folder
and recompiled wxMac following instructions in your book. I then ran
"sudo make install" which I didn't do the first time. I figured I
could now run wx-config --cxxflags from my home directory because
/usr/local/bin/wx-config was in my $PATH. However, OSX 10.4 installed
a version of wxWidgets. When I ran wx-config I was getting wx 2.5
libs instead of the 2.6.1 libs I just compiled. When I ran
"/usr/local/bin/wx-config --cxxflags" and "/usr/local/bin/wx-config --libs"
and pasted that output into XCode preferences, everything worked fine.

wxWidgets 2 can be used to develop and deliver applications on Windows 3.1, Win32s,

wxWidgets can be used to develop and deliver applications on Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT,
Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. A Windows CE
port is also available (see below).<P>
wxWidgets 2 is designed to make use of WIN32 features and controls. However, unlike Microsoft,
we have not forgotten users of 16-bit Windows. Most features
work under Windows 3.1, including wxTreeCtrl and wxListCtrl using the generic implementation.
However, don&#39;t expect very Windows-95-specific classes to work, such as wxTaskBarIcon. The wxRegConfig
class doesn&#39;t work either because the Windows 3.1 registry is very simplistic. Check out the 16-bit
makefiles to see what other files have been left out.

16-bit compilation is supported under Visual C++ 1.5, and Borland BC++ 4 to 5.
