Building New wxWidgets Apps on Xcode
Andy Kellett
Hi All,
Are there any decent tutorials for building wxWidgets apps on Xcode that cover newer versions of Xcode? I have used wxWidgets for a long time and made many projects on Windows, I am now switching to Mac for a couple of projects and having a hard time getting a new project going. I can build the libraries, I can build the minimal app using wxWidgets 3.1.5, but as soon as I try to make a new sepereted project of my own everything just explodes. I have tried using the info at https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Creating_Xcode_projects_for_wxWidgets_applications and a couple of other tutorials I found on the web, but just cannot get anything to work. I just need to know if there is a simple way to create new projects outside of the wxWidgets samples folder. Thanks in advance!

As a registered Xcode hater, I have to say that you don't need to use it
under Mac. You do need to have it installed to get the compiler etc, but
once you do have them, you can build your application in any way you want,
including using make, CMake or anything else.

This is... not really informative.

I don't know how simple it is, but you need to make sure that you use
`wx-config --cxxflags` output in the compiler options and `wx-config
--libs` in the linker options. The exact locations vary depending on Xcode
version, but it's typically not difficult to find where to put the various
-D, -I and -L options in the project settings.
