Building on Mac OS X: Which wxWidgets Version?

[Phil Underwood]

The relevant lines are these:

gfxcore.h:48: error: redefinition of 'class Point'
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Headers/../Frameworks/CarbonCore.framework/Headers/MacTypes.h:497:
error: previous definition of 'class Point'

This is not a wxWidgets problem, but rather a conflict between aven defining
a class called Point, and the Mac graphics library also having a class
called Point.

Probably the simplest way to solve this would be to replace all instances of
Point in aven with AvenPoint (or some such similar). Unfortunately a simple
replace will also nobble references to PointInfo and wxPoint. The word Point
is also used in one text string
