--enable-geometry \
--enable-sound --with-sdl \

<p>On OS X of course you'll want to use --with-mac instead of
---with-gtk. For GTK2 and unicode add:</p>
+--with-gtk.</p>
+<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: Due to a recent change there is a dependency problem in the
+multilib builds of wxWidgets on OSX, so I have switched to a
+monolithic build on that platform. (IOW, all of the core code in
+one shared library instead of several.) I would also expect other
+unix builds to do just fine with a monolithic library, but I havn't
+tested it in a while so your mileage may vary. Anyway, to switch
+to the monolithic build of wxWidgets just add this configure flag:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+--enable-monolithic \
+</pre>
+<p>By default GTK2 will be selected if it is on your build system. To
+force the use of GTK 1.2.x add this flag:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+--disable-gtk2 \
+</pre>
+<p>To make the wxWidgets build be Unicode enabled (strongly
+recommended if you are building with GTK2) then add:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
---enable-gtk2 \
--enable-unicode \
</pre>
<p>Notice that I used a prefix of /opt/wx/2.5. You can use whatever
command but there are other libraries besides the main wxWidgets
libs that also need to be built so again I make a script to do it
all for me so I don't forget anything. This time it is called
-".make" (I use the leading ". so when I do <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">rm</span> <span class="pre">-r</span> <span class="pre">*</span></tt> in my build
+".make" (I use the leading "." so when I do <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">rm</span> <span class="pre">-r</span> <span class="pre">*</span></tt> in my build
dir I don't lose my scripts too.) This is what it looks like:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
make $* \
<pre class="literal-block">
WX_CONFIG=/opt/wx/2.5/bin/wx-config
</pre>
-<p>If you are building with GTK2 then add the following flags to the
-command line:</p>
+<p>By default setup.py will assume that you built wxWidgets to use
+GTK2. If you built wxWidgets to use GTK 1.2.x then you should add
+this flag to the command-line:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
-WXPORT=gtk2 UNICODE=1
+WXPORT=gtk2
+</pre>
+<p>If you would like to do a Unicode enabled build (all strings sent
+to or retruned from wx functions are Unicode objects) and your
+wxWidgets was built with unicode enabled then add this flag:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+UNICODE=1
</pre>
<p>If you are wanting to have the source files regenerated with swig,
then you need to turn on the USE_SWIG flag and optionally tell it
