On Mac OS X, wxWidgets can be compiled using Apple's Carbon or Cocoa libraries.
To compile using Carbon or Cocoa, see the instructions in docs/mac/install.txt
wxCocoa is still a work in progress.
To compile it, you will need Apple's Developer Tools. However, please

wxWidgets for Mac installation
------------------------------
wxWidgets for Mac OS X installation
-----------------------------------
On MacOS X, you can download Apple's free developer tools (gcc
and associated headers and libraries, such as the Carbon API).
You can then use configure in a similar way to compiling
wxWidgets on Linux (or on Windows using MinGW or Cygwin). See
'Apple Developer Tools' below for more details on using
configure.
wxWidgets can be compiled using Apple's Carbon or Cocoa libraries.
Carbon is the older library, and Cocoa is the more modern library.
To target on MacOS 8 or 9, you need to buy Metrowerks
CodeWarrior. You can then compile Mac Classic or MacOS X
applications on Mac OS X, or compile Mac Classic or MacOS X
applications on Mac Classic. However you can only run and debug
each type of application on the target operating system.
In wxWidgets 2.8.x, Carbon is the recommended library because it is the
more stable. Cocoa is incomplete in wxWidgets 2.8.x. If you are interested
in using Cocoa, you should start with wxWidgets 2.9.x where Cocoa is
much more complete.
Most Mac OS X developers should start by downloading and installing Xcode
from http://developer.apple.com. It is a free IDE from Apple that provides
all of the tools you need for working with wxWidgets.
After Xcode is installed, download either wxWidgets-{version}.tar.gz or
wxMac-{version}.tar.gz and then double-click on it to unpack it to create
a wxWidgets directory.
Next use Terminal (under Applications, Utilities, Terminal) to access a command
prompt. Use cd to change directory to your wxWidgets directory and execute
one of the following sets of commands:
---------
# For Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or later, with a 64-bit processor, build the
# Carbon libraries like this
mkdir build-carbon-debug
cd build-carbon-debug
arch_flags="-arch i386"
../configure CFLAGS="$arch_flags" CXXFLAGS="$arch_flags" CPPFLAGS="$arch_flags" LDFLAGS="$arch_flags" OBJCFLAGS="$arch_flags" OBJCXXFLAGS="$arch_flags" --enable-unicode --enable-debug --disable-shared
make;cd ..
# Build the samples and demos
cd build-carbon-debug/samples;make;cd ../..
cd build-carbon-debug/demos; make;cd ../..
---------
# For Mac OS X 10.5 or older or with a 32-bit processor, build Carbon like this:
mkdir build-carbon-debug
cd build-carbon-debug
../configure --enable-unicode --enable-debug --disable-shared
make;cd ..
# Build the samples and demos
cd build-carbon-debug/samples;make;cd ../..
cd build-carbon-debug/demos; make;cd ../..
---------
# For Mac OS X 10.5 or older or with a 32-bit processor, you can build the
# Cocoa libraries like this, but wxWidgets 2.9.x is really much better than 2.8.x
mkdir build-cocoa-debug
cd build-cocoa-debug
../configure --enable-unicode --enable-debug --disable-shared --with-cocoa
make;cd ..
# Build the samples and demos
cd build-cocoa-debug/samples; make;cd ../..
cd build-cocoa-debug/demos; make;cd ../..
---------
After the compilation completes, use Finder to run the samples and demos
Go to build-carbon-debug/samples to experiment with the Carbon samples.
Go to build-carbon-debug/demos to experiment with the Carbon demos.
Go to build-cocoa-debug/samples to experiment with the Cocoa samples.
Go to biuld-cocoa-debug/demos to experiment with the Cocoa demos.
Double-click on the executables which have an icon showing three small squares.
The source code for the samples is in wxWidgets/samples
The source code for the demos is in wxWidgets/demos

Apple Developer Tools: command line
-----------------------------------
As in all Unix projects, you need to do something like this under MacOS X
with the Apple Developer Tools installed:
1) cd into the base dir
2) mkdir osx-build
3) cd osx-build
4) ../configure
5) make
If you want to install the library into the system directories you'll need
to do this as root. The accepted way of running commands as root is to
use the built-in sudo mechanism. First of all, you must be using an
