Hello everyone,

I'm compiling wxPython on mac os x 10.5 and I was looking at the configure options and I was wondering if I should set --enable-mac or --enable-cocoa? I can't have both apparently.

Thanks,
Gabriel

In wx 2.8 you want --enable-mac. The wxCocoa port is unfinished and apparently abandoned.

In 2.9 wxMac has been refactored into two ports that share a lot of code, one of which is wxMac's direct successor (wxOSX-carbon) and a new one that is using Cocoa (wxOSX-cocoa). wxOSX-carbon is still the more advanced port, but the Cocoa version is making good progress.

Ok, thank you for this information
