wx public headers are not supposed to include platform-specific headers defining many macros that can conflict with the identifiers defined in the application code. In this particular case, including CoreServices.h ultimately #included AssertMacros.h, which by default on older SDKs (<10.12) introduces various macros whose names very easily conflict with user code. For example, if you #included <wx/fswatcher.h> in your own code, and your code happened to contain a symbol called 'check', or 'verify', compilation failed. Fix this by using pImpl idiom to move the variable requiring a type defined in the SDK header into the source file. Closes https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/1666
About
wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at https://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at https://docs.wxwidgets.org/

docs/<port> directory, e.g. here are the instructions for
wxGTK, wxMSW and
wxOSX.
If you're building the sources checked out from Git, and not from a released version, please see these additional Git-specific notes.
