wxWidgets for Mac installation
------------------------------
On MacOS X, you can download Apple's free developer tools (gcc
and associated headers and libraries, such as the Carbon API).
You can then use configure in a similar way to compiling
wxWidgets on Linux (or on Windows using MinGW or Cygwin). See
'Apple Developer Tools' below for more details on using
configure.

wxWidgets for Mac OS X installation
-----------------------------------
As in all Unix projects, you need to do something like this under MacOS X
with the Apple Developer Tools installed:
wxWidgets can be compiled using Apple's Carbon or Cocoa libraries.
Carbon is the older library, and Cocoa is the more modern library.
1) cd into the base dir
2) mkdir osx-build
3) cd osx-build
4) ../configure (add --with-osx_cocoa for the Cocoa port)
5) make
In wxWidgets 2.9.x, Cocoa is the recommended library. While Carbon is still
supported by Apple, little new work is being done in Carbon.
Most Mac OS X developers should start by downloading and installing Xcode
from http://developer.apple.com. It is a free IDE from Apple that provides
all of the tools you need for working with wxWidgets.
After Xcode is installed, download either wxWidgets-{version}.tar.gz or
wxMac-{version}.tar.gz and then double-click on it to unpack it to create
a wxWidgets directory.
Next use Terminal (under Applications, Utilities, Terminal) to access a command
prompt. Use cd to change directories to your wxWidgets directory and execute
one of the following sets of commands from the wxWidgets directory
---------
# Build the library for Cocoa (wxWidgets 2.9.0 and later)
mkdir build-cocoa-debug
cd build-cocoa-debug
../configure --enable-unicode --enable-debug --disable-shared --with-osx_cocoa
make;cd ..
# Build the samples and demos
cd build-cocoa-debug/samples; make;cd ../..
cd build-cocoa-debug/demos; make;cd ../..
---------
# Build the library for Carbon
mkdir build-carbon-debug
cd build-carbon-debug
../configure --enable-unicode --enable-debug --disable-shared
make;cd ..
# Build the samples and demos
cd build-carbon-debug/samples;make;cd ../..
cd build-carbon-debug/demos; make;cd ../..
---------
After the compilation completes, use Finder to run the samples and demos
Go to build-carbon-debug/samples to experiment with the Carbon samples.
Go to build-carbon-debug/demos to experiment with the Carbon demos.
Go to build-cocoa-debug/samples to experiment with the Cocoa samples.
Go to biuld-cocoa-debug/demos to experiment with the Cocoa demos.
Double-click on the executables which have an icon showing three small squares.
The source code for the samples is in wxWidgets/samples
The source code for the demos is in wxWidgets/demos

More information about building on Mac OS X is available in the wxWiki.
Here are two useful links

More advanced topics are covered below.

If you want to install the library into the system directories you'll need
to do this as root. The accepted way of running commands as root is to
