Hi,
I'm very ignorant on the Mac side. So take the following just as a
weak advice :)
I know wx2.8 is widely used and will last for much time; however
building a wx Framework for Mac is extremehely easier in wxTRUNK since
contribs were removed. I think that when wx3.0 will be out, it will thus
have a wxFramework for the mac world and then building releases for
wx-based software for mac will be much more easier.
So, I don't know if it's worth the effort to spend much time in making
wx2.8+wxLua installation easier on Mac. Much of that work could become
useless for wx3.0.
Just my 2 cents,
Francesco
