Building on Mac OS X: Which wxWidgets Version?

[David A. Riggs]

I'm attempting to do a native build of Survex (survex-1_1 branch from
SVN) on Mac OS X 10.5.6, and have run into compilation problems, which
I suspect are due to an incompatible version of wxWidgets.

I've compiled wxMac 2.8.9 (--with-opengl --disable-shared) and am
compiling survex with `make WXCONFIG=~/blah/wx-config` and receive the
following fatal errors:

### End compilation output ###

I suspect that I probably need to use an older version of wxWidgets
with Survex, is this the case? Is there an "officially supported"
wxWidgets version? Has ANYONE successfully done a "recent" OS X build
of Survex? I've seen two requests for Mac binaries to the mailing list
go unanswered over the past 12 months.

I'm neither a Mac nor a C++ guru, but am determined to get Survex
running on this Mac.
