wxCocoa is still a work in progress.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To compile it, you will need Apple's Developer Tools. However, please
|
||||||
|
note that any work to make it suitable for GNUstep (which will require
|
||||||
|
a GCC release with Objective-C++) will be much appreciated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For the time being, the standard configure/make method works. You will
|
||||||
|
want to build static because there are a number of unimplemented functions
|
||||||
|
that a shared library will need (becuase of wxWindows code internally using
|
||||||
|
them) but that a static library will not (because most of the samples
|
||||||
|
don't need it).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
On my system I have the following:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Checked out CVS source is in:
|
||||||
|
/Users/dfe/devel/wxHEADcommit/wxWindows
|
||||||
|
Debug build directory is:
|
||||||
|
/Users/dfe/devel/wxHEADcommit/BUILD_COCOAd
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
From the debug build directory:
|
||||||
|
$ ../wxWindows/configure --with-cocoa --enable-debug --disable-shared
|
||||||
|
$ make
|
||||||
|
$ cd samples/minimal
|
||||||
|
$ make
|
||||||
|
$ ./minimal
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may also need to configure the library --without-expat. It didn't
|
||||||
|
build last time I checked, but then again, several improvements have
|
||||||
|
been made since then.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For other samples, you will need to provide at the very least an empty
|
||||||
|
resource fork so the OS will recognize it as a GUI application.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
From the debug build directory:
|
||||||
|
$ cd samples/drawing
|
||||||
|
$ make
|
||||||
|
$ true | /Developer/Tools/Rez -t APPL -o drawing
|
||||||
|
$ ./drawing
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that the empty resource fork doesn't actually allow the app to be
|
||||||
|
started from the Finder (it thinks it's a classic app!) but does allow
|
||||||
|
it to run with a menubar and proper event handling from the command line.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I suspect (but am uncertain) that if we provided an empty plist resource
|
||||||
|
that the app would be recognized as a proper OS X application. Obviously,
|
||||||
|
bundles would be preferrable, and any work on Bakefile (see
|
||||||
|
http://bakefile.sf.net/) would be much appreciated. wxMac also needs
|
||||||
|
bundle building restored since the switch to Bakefile.

Welcome to wxCocoa
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
wxCocoa is still very much a work in progress. At this point quite a bit
|
||||||
|
of functionality is working, but quite a bit is left to do. wxCocoa is not
|
||||||
|
yet suitable for a direct port of most wxWindows applications. Fortunately,
|
||||||
|
wxMac is available for those looking to move to Mac today.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you're still reading then I assume you're interested in helping with
|
||||||
|
the wxCocoa port. Please join the wx-dev@lists.wxwindows.org mailing list
|
||||||
|
so we can talk! There is plenty of work that can be done independently.
|
||||||
|
For example, many of the controls (listboxes, sliders, gauges, steppers,
|
||||||
|
etc.) can be easily worked on and the implementation should be pretty
|
||||||
|
straightforward (see how wxButton is wired up for an example of how to
|
||||||
|
handle events).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I welcome any help, but please shoot a message to wx-dev or to me
|
||||||
|
privately, dfe@cox.net, so there is no needless duplication of work.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Thanks a bunch!
|
||||||
|
David Elliott
