@section page_port_wxosx wxOSX
@subsection page_port_wxosx_cocoa wxOSX/Cocoa
wxOSX/Cocoa is the currently recommended port of wxWidgets for the Macintosh OS
platform. It requires OS X 10.7 or later and, unlike wxOSX/Carbon, fully
supports 64 bit builds.
This is the default port when building wxOSX, but in order to select it
explicitly you can use
@verbatim configure --with-osx_cocoa @endverbatim
For further information, please see the files in @c docs/osx in the
distribution.

switching your app over to wxOSX/Cocoa as soon as possible.

@subsection page_port_wxosx_cocoa wxOSX/Cocoa
wxOSX/Cocoa is another port of wxWidgets for the Macintosh OS platform.
Currently OS X 10.5 or higher are supported. In contrast to wxOSX/Carbon,
it uses the Cocoa API in place of Carbon. Much work has gone into this port
and many controls are functional, but the port has not reached the maturity of
the wxOSX/Carbon port yet. It is possible to use wxOSX/Cocoa on 64-bit
architectures.
In order to configure wxWidgets to compile wxOSX/Cocoa you will need to type:
@verbatim configure --with-osx_cocoa @endverbatim
@verbatim configure --with-osx_carbon @endverbatim
For further information, please see the files in @c docs/osx in the
distribution.
@note There was a previous effort towards a Cocoa port called wxCocoa, which
was implemented totally with Cocoa API unlike the OSX/Cocoa port which uses OS
X C APIs to share code, and while it is no longer being actively developed,
docs for it are available in @c docs/cocoa in the distribution.
