+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.
