A, wxWidgets Introduction

wxWidgets advertised using its library developedsoftwareOnly need toSourceMake a few changes (or completely do not change), you can compile and execute on a variety of platforms. Currently supportsWindows、Apple Macintosh、Linux／Unix(Translated intoX11、GTK+、MotifLibrary, etc.),OpenVMS,as well asOS/2。EmbeddedVersion is also under development.

Library itself usesC++Language development, but there are other differentProgramming languageBindings, such as:Python（wxPython）、Perl（wxPerl）、Ruby（wxRuby）、Smalltalk（wxSmalltalk）、Java(Wx4j), evenJavaScript(Wxjs) and so on.

-------- from wiki

Wxwidgets ever used on Windows and Linux. Now I want to try to develop the Mac OS, too lazy to learn Objecitive-C, ready to try the case in the use of wxWidgets development on the Mac OS.

Second, compile and install

1: Use the configure / make to compile

The current stable version is 2.8.12 download http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ compiled from the official website, there is no compiler, whether it is in accordance with 32bit or 64bit installation in accordance with the Did not pass. In the foreign mail list found inside, but some people say 2.8.12 is compiled on Mac OS 10.7. We had to compile the development version 2.9.3.

installation process is as follows:

wget https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxwindows/files/2.9.3/wxWidgets-2.9.3.tar.bz2/download wxWidgets-2.9.3.tar.bz2

tar -zxvf wxWidgets-2.9.3.tar.bz2

# Create build directory
mkdir cocoabuild

cd wxWidgets-2.9.3

../configure --disable-shared --disable-debug --enable-threads --enable-monolithic --enable-unicode --without-libjpeg  --without-zlib --without-libtiff --without-expat --without-regex --with-opengl --disable-shared -with-osx_cocoa --disable-shared --disable-compat24 --with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk --with-macosx-version-min=10.7 CFLAGS="-arch x86_64" CXXFLAGS="-arch x86_64" LDFLAGS="-arch x86_64" OBJCFLAGS="-arch x86_64" OBJCXXFLAGS="-arch x86_64" --with-opengl --disable-shared cc=gcc-4.2 ccxx=g++-4.2

make;make install

The above parameters are in accordance with the static library to compile, but does not support the STL, what parameters are dynamic compiler compiler library, support STL. By the way, which configure the parameters view support. You can run: ../configure --help to see.

../configure  --enable-shared --enable-stl --disable-debug --enable-threads --enable-monolithic --enable-unicode --without-libjpeg   --without-libtiff --without-expat --without-regex --with-opengl  -with-osx_cocoa --disable-compat24 --with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.7.sdk --with-macosx-version-min=10.7 CFLAGS="-arch x86_64" CXXFLAGS="-arch x86_64" LDFLAGS="-arch x86_64" OBJCFLAGS="-arch x86_64" OBJCXXFLAGS="-arch x86_64" --with-opengl  cc=gcc-4.2 ccxx=g++-4.2

2: Use xcode to compile

There xcode project file in the extracted directory of the build / osx / down. My environment is as follows:

Mac OS X 10.7

XCode 4.2+SDK 10.7

gcc: i686-apple-darwin11-llvm-gcc-4.2 (GCC) 4.2.1

Compile the following error message:

Unsupported compiler 'GCC 4.2' selected for architecture 'x86_64'

Xcode environment are not familiar with, try to modify the project properties without success.

III confirmed

1: After installation is complete, confirm wxWidgets environment OK

wx-config --version

We can see wxWidgets version.

2: Running DEMO

In the sample directory under the build directory cocoabuild, there comes a sample makefile

cd cocoabuild/samples

make

After compile, just select a Demo, you can see the effect of running. No Objective-C, a Mac OS native applications will be established.

Four, Xcode environment configuration (TBD ...)
