wxOSX/Carbon is a port of wxWidgets for the Macintosh OS platform.
Currently MacOS X 10.4 or higher are supported. wxOSX/Carbon can
be compiled both using Apple's command line developer tools
-as well as Apple's XCode IDE. wxOSX/Carbon supports both the Intel
+as well as Apple's Xcode IDE. wxOSX/Carbon supports both the Intel
and PowerPC architectures and can be used to produce
"universal binaries" in order create application which can run
both architecture. Unfortunately, wxOSX/Carbon does not support any
64-bit architecture since Apple decided not to port its Carbon
API entirely to 64-bit.
+@note Carbon has been deprecated by Apple as of OS X 10.5 and will likely
+be removed entirely in a future OS version. It's recommended you look into
+switching your app over to wxOSX/Cocoa as soon as possible.

wxOSX/Cocoa is another port of wxWidgets for the Macintosh OS
platform. In contrast to wxOSX/Carbon, it uses the Cocoa API
of the wxOSX/Carbon port yet. It is possible to use wxOSX/Cocoa
on 64-bit architectures.
+In order to configure wxWidgets to compile wxOSX/Cocoa you will
+need to type:
+
+@verbatim configure --with-osx_cocoa @endverbatim
+
For further information, please see the files in @c docs/osx
in the distribution.

+@note There was a previous effort towards a Cocoa port called
wxCocoa, which was implemented totally with Cocoa API unlike the OSX/Cocoa port
which uses OS X C APIs to share code, and while it is no longer being actively
developed, docs for it are available in @c docs/cocoa in the distribution.
-@section page_port_wxmgl wxMGL
-
-wxMGL is a port of wxWidgets using the MGL library available
-from SciTech as the underlying graphics backend. wxMGL draws
-its widgets using the wxUniversal widget set which is part
-of wxWidgets. MGL itself runs on a variety of platforms
-including DOS, Linux hardware (similar to the Linux framebuffer)
-and various graphics systems such as Win32, X11 and OS/2.
-Note that currently MGL for Linux runs only on x86-based systems.
-
-You will MGL 5.0 or higher which is available from
-
-http://www.scitechsoft.com/products/product_download.html
-
-In order to configure wxWidgets to compile wxMGL you will
-need to type:
-
-@verbatim configure --with-mgl --with-universal @endverbatim
-
-Under DOS, wxMGL uses a dmake based make system.

-For further information, please see the files in @c docs/mgl
