-Installing and compiling wxMac
-============================================================
+wxWidgets 2.6.2 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
-wxWindows on Linux, (or on Windows using MinGW or Cygwin). See
-'Apple Developers Tools' below for more details on using
+wxWidgets on Linux (or on Windows using MinGW or Cygwin). See
+'Apple Developer Tools' below for more details on using
configure.
To target on MacOS 8 or 9, you need to buy Metrowerks
Installing latest headers (and Carbon Support)
----------------------------------------------
-NOTE: these steps are not necessary for CW Pro 6 and above,
-only for CW Pro 5.3.
-
-The latest build for carbon support leads to a few changes you will have to
-follow, in order to successfully compile the code (also necessary if you don't
-want to build the carbon targets).
-
-1. You need CodeWarrior Pro 5.3 , i.e. 5.0 with all the upgrades.
-2. You have to download the 3.4.0 (or greater) universal interfaces from
- ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/UniversalHeaders3.4.1.img.bin.
-3. put the Interfaces and Libraries Folder into the MacOS Support folder and
- replace older versions.
-4. remove from the MacOS Support folder the separate OpenTransport folder.
-5. open the file MacOS Support:MacHeaders:MacHeaders.c and add the line
- #include <ControlDefinitions.h>
- after the
- #include <Controls.h>
-6. rebuild all MacHeaders from the MacHeaders.mcp project in the same folder.
-
-If you want to build the carbon targets, you will also need the latest
-carbonized version of MSL from Metrowerks, at the time of writing, this meant
-applying the changes from the folders:
-
-CodeWarrior Pro 5:Pre-Release:Carbon & MacOSX Development:Carbonized MSL and
-CodeWarrior Pro 5:Pre-Release:Carbon & MacOSX Development:Carbonized Runtimes
-(consult the file CodeWarrior Pro 5:Pre-Release:Carbon & MacOSX Development:Carbon & MacOSX README)
+Patching headers: CodeWarrior 8.x
+---------------------------------
+
+If you run into trouble with WCHAR_MIN and WCHAR_MAX the for
+MacOS X Support:Headers:(wchar_t Support fix):machine:ansi.h,
+apply the patch ansi.diff.
+
+You may also need to comment out the _T definition in
+ctype.h if you get multiple definition errors.
setup.h
-------
The project files are stored as xml text files and converted to binary
CodeWarrior projects in the distribution (see AppleScript Files below):
- - *M5.xml -> *M5.mcp for CodeWarrior 5.3
- - *M6.xml -> *M6.mcp for CodeWarrior 6
- - *M7.xml -> *M7.mcp for CodeWarrior 7 and above.
-
-In order to build the library (and then the samples) you need to make the
-following projects (for CW 5.3, similar process for CW 7):
-:src:wxwindowsM5.mcp
-:src:png:pngM5.mcp
-:src:tiff:tiffM5.mcp
-:src:jpeg:jpegM5.mcp
-:src:zlib:zlibM5.mcp
-
-Note that if using CW 8 and above, when compiling the samples
-you may need to edit the target settings, click on Language
-Settings, C/++ Language and remove the forward slash at the
-start of /wx/wx_cw_d.h (or similar filename).
+ - *M8.xml -> *M8.mcp for CodeWarrior 8 and above.
AppleScript Files
-----------------
-Several AppleScript files are provided in the docs:mac directory (currently
-only for CodeWarrior 5.3 related projects):
- - M5xml2mcp.applescript to convert xml files to CodeWarrior projects
- - M5mcp2xml.applescript to convert CodeWarrior projects to xml files
- - M5build.applescript to automatically build all samples/demos projects
+Several AppleScript files are provided in the docs:mac directory:
+
+ - M8xml2mcp.applescript to convert xml files to CodeWarrior 8 projects
+ - M8mcp2xml.applescript to convert CodeWarrior 8 projects to xml files
+ - SetXMLCreator.applescript to set correct creator type (see below)
-Apple Developers Tools
-----------------------
+To run the XML to MCP conversion scripts:
-As in all Unix projects, you need to do something like this under MacOS 10.1
-with the Apple Developers Tools installed:
+Double click on e.g. docs/mac/M8xml2mcp.applescript, then "run"
+the applescript and when asked for a folder pick src/. Then it
+takes a while to scan all dirs for the xml files and convert
+them to mcps. If some conversions fail it means an mcp already
+exists (back them up prior to running the script).
+
+To set the correct creator type for importing into CodeWarrior,
+you may need to run SetXMLCreator.applescript.
+
+Apple Developer Tools
+---------------------
+
+As in all Unix projects, you need to do something like this under MacOS X
+with the Apple Developer Tools installed:
1) cd into the base dir
-2) mkdir build
-3) cd build
+2) mkdir osx-build
+3) cd osx-build
4) ../configure
5) make
-If you want to install the library, you need to be able to log in as "root".
-For this, "root" has to be activated in the NetInfo utility - there you will
-also have to choose a password for the "root" user. Then
+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
+use the built-in sudo mechanism. First of all, you must be using an
+account marked as a "Computer Administrator". Then
-6) su
-7) type <PASSWORD>
-8) make install
-9) exit
+6) sudo make install
+7) type <YOUR OWN PASSWORD>
+
+Note that while using this method is okay for development, it is not
+recommended that you require endusers to install wxWidgets into their
+system directories in order to use your program. One way to avoid this
+is to configure wxWidgets with --disable-shared. Another way to avoid
+it is to make a framework for wxWidgets. Making frameworks is beyond
+the scope of this document.
Note:
-You might want to configure a static library instead:
+We recommend you configure a static library instead:
4) ../configure --disable-shared
4) ../configure --with-opengl
+Note:
+It is rarely desirable to install non-Apple software into system directories.
+By configuring the library with --disable-shared and using the full path
+to wx-config with the --in-place option you can avoid installing the library.
