wx fails to build on Snow Leopard

[Steve Vinoski-2]

I'm seeing that the wx part of the Erlang/OTP build doesn't work on OS X
10.6 (Snow Leopard). I don't use wx so it's no big deal to me, but I'm
seeing the g++ compiler appear to hang when compiling
lib/wx/c_src/gen/wxe_funcs.cpp. I let it run quite awhile and it never got
past that point, but my laptop fans were running full blast so I wonder if
the compilation got stuck in an infinite loop. If I manually edit wx out of
the lib/Makefile, then everything builds and seems to work as normal. There
are also lots of compilation warnings in the wx area due to deprecation of
some APIs being used and due to string constants being passed as char*.

The build continues once that one long compile step has finished.
What was "quite a while"? 10 minutes? 30 minutes?

Can you try to build again and wait a little longer?

This does not mean that the wx driver now automatically works on OSX:
  "WX Failed loading "wxe_driver"@[...]".
Also, by default on OSX.6 it's -m64, so:
  wxe_driver.so: Mach-O 64-bit bundle x86_64.).

The wx driver not easily working is an issue specific to Darwin,
there are no problems like that on linux.

For the record, Snow Leopard seems to bundle wx-2.8.8 and the
on 10.5 it also failed with 2.8.10. That's why I didn't try to use
a 2.8.10 install of wxMac for the driver, yet.

I don't think wxWidgets 2.8.* works in 64-bit, it uses the old gui api.
They are working on fixing that in wxWidgets 2.9 and 3.0.

But the problem remains, for me the emulator crashes with a SIGTRAP when
loading the driver.

I'll try the WX_2_9_0_BRANCH branch and/or trunk.

fyi,

2.9 branch didn't build completely. trunk built but it looks like
gen/wxe_funcs.cpp would need to be adapted to changes in
wx trunk.
