+ There are two wxWidgets ports to Mac OS. One of them, wxMac, exists in two versions:
+ Classic and Carbon. The Classic version is the only one to work on Mac OS version 8.
The Carbon version may be built either as CFM or Mach-O (binary format, like ELF)
and the former may run under OS 9 while the latter only runs under OS X.
Finally, there is a new Cocoa port which can only be used under OS X. To
summarize:
-
+
@li If you want to test for all Mac platforms, classic and OS X, you
should test both @c __WXMAC__ and @c __WXCOCOA__.
@li If you want to test for any GUI Mac port under OS X, use
@c __WXOSX__.
@li If you want to test for any port under Mac OS X, including, for
example, wxGTK and also wxBase, use @c __DARWIN__ (see below).
-
+
The convention is to use the @c __WX prefix for these
symbols, although this has not always been followed.
