+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
+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
+CodeWarrior. You can then compile Mac Classic or MacOS X
+applications on Mac OS X, or compile Mac Classic or MacOS X
+applications on Mac Classic. However you can only run and debug
+each type of application on the target operating system.

Installing latest headers (and Carbon Support)
----------------------------------------------
-NOTE : these steps are not necessary for Pro 6, only for Pro 5.3
-
-the latest build for carbon support lead 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
-------
If you want OpenGL support with CodeWarrior, set wxUSE_OPENGL to 1 in
include/wx/setup.h
-If you don't want OpenGl support, remove the file "glcanvas.cpp" from the
-project before compilation and leave the setting at 0
+If you don't want OpenGl support, set wxUSE_OPENGL to 0 (the
+default) and remove the file OpenGLLibraryStub from the project
+before compilation.
If you want OpenGL support with the Apple Developer Tools under Mac OS X, add
--with-opengl to the arguments of configure when configuring wxMac.
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
-
-In order to build the library (and then the samples) you need to make the
-following projects (for 5.3)
-:src:wxxindowsM5.mcp
-:src:png:pngM5.mcp
-:src:tiff:tiffM5.mcp
-:src:jpeg:jpegM5.mcp
-:src:zlib:zlibM5.mcp
+
+ - *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)
+
+To run the XML to MCP conversion scripts:
-Apple Developers Tools
-----------------------
+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).
-As in all Unix projects, you need to do something like this under MacOS 10.1
-with the Apple Developers Tools installed:
+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) sudo make install
+7) type <YOUR OWN PASSWORD>
-6) su
-7) type <PASSWORD>
-8) make install
-9) exit
+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.
