1 | wxCocoa is still a work in progress. |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | To compile it, you will need Apple's Developer Tools. However, please | |
| 4 | note that any work to make it suitable for GNUstep (which will require | |
| 5 | a GCC release with Objective-C++) will be much appreciated. | |

7 | Some users also report success with Metrowerks CodeWarrior IDE and I've even |
| 8 | on occasion used the command-line MW compilers (see docs/metrowerks) with | |
| 9 | configure instead of GCC and Apple's LD. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | Like most UNIX ports, the standard configure/make method works. You should | |
| 12 | be able to build the library as static or shared. I usually build static. | |

| 14 | On my system I have the following: | |

| 16 | Checked out CVS source is in: | |
| fc2171bd | 17 | /Users/dfe/devel/wxHEADcommit/wxWidgets |
| abf7c277 DE |
18 | Debug build directory is: |
| 19 | /Users/dfe/devel/wxHEADcommit/BUILD_COCOAd | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | From the debug build directory: | |
| fc2171bd | 22 | $ ../wxWidgets/configure --with-cocoa --enable-debug --disable-shared |

23 | $ make |
| 24 | $ cd samples/minimal | |
| 25 | $ make | |

26 | $ ./minimal.app/Contents/MacOS/minimal |

| 28 | Like wxMac applications, wxCocoa applications are "bundled". For development | |
| 29 | purposes all this means is that an executable named "foo" needs to be | |
| 30 | inside a "foo.app/Contents/MacOS" directory. For deployment you will need | |
| 31 | an appropriate Info.plist and PkgInfo inside the foo.app/Contents directory. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | wxCocoa (and Cocoa in general) has no need for Mac OS resources. It | |
| 34 | certainly has no need for resource forks as no Mach-O applications should | |
| 35 | _ever_ have resource forks (note: Bakefile violates this right now). | |
| 36 | Please see the wxWiki and/or discuss this with wx-users before shipping | |
| 37 | any wxCocoa apps if you are new to the OS X platform. |
