"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

+@subsection page_port_wxosx_cocoa wxOSX/Cocoa
wxOSX/Cocoa is another port of wxWidgets for the Macintosh OS
-platform. In contrast to wxOSX/Carbon, it uses the Cocoa API
+platform. Currently MacOS X 10.5 or higher are supported.
+In contrast to wxOSX/Carbon, it uses the Cocoa API
in place of Carbon. Much work has gone into this port and many
controls are functional, but the port has not reached the maturity
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

+@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
