I didn't create a build subdirectory, but just built in the source
directory.  That's not actually recommended by the wx people apparently.

But from what Ron Lee told me, the actual problem is that "make clean"
doesn't reliably remove everything it should.

I didn't do 2 or 3, and ran "./configure".

But you should just be able to hand edit the demos Makefile to add
"build" into the path it has for makeprog.env.  That'll save you
rebuilding everything.

I assume you're planning to see if the demos work?  That would be
interesting to find out.  Other people are definitely successfully
deploying applications using wxMac on MacOS X, but it's not clear
what we're doing that's different.
