10.4 "Tiger" shipped with wx-2.5.3-debug, and 10.5 "Leopard" ships with wx-2.8.4-debug and neither will ever get upgraded probably... The system installation is more of runtime support for wxPython, at least that's the "feeling" that I've been getting from it ? http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4/wxWidgets-2/ http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.4.x86/wxWidgets-6/ http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.5/wxWidgets-11/ When I was supporting 10.3 and 10.4, it was easier to build a new since 10.3 didn't have any at all and the 10.4 one was so broken. But I'm not sure that has changed too much, I usually build using the 10.4u SDK now so that it'll run on both of Tiger and Leopard. > From what I see on wx-dev, the OSX version of > wxWidgets is much better than it was and things are getting fixed and > added all the time.

The single binary is simple, the only downside is the 20M overhead required for the wxWidgets library (and then some more for wxLua) One approach is providing wxWidgets in one separate package (PKG), and then linking the applications/libraries to this system install. Also, I have downgraded from Leopard back to Tiger due to all the bugs*, so I don't think I would require 10.5 for quite some time... --anders * and from what I've been hearing, the same goes for Vista to XP. Supporting Mac 10.3 and Windows 2K is getting a bit old, though... ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
