Wxwidgets Study Notes (1) MAC OSX environment configuration

As a result of the recent study of "Ray Tracing from thee Ground up", the sample program in the book is written using the Wxwidgets cross-platform graphics API, so it is learned and recorded for review.

Information about wxwidgets can be found on the official website http://www.wxwidgets.org/See more.

(1) Compiling source files

Download the Mac OSX version of the source file, open the Build/osx/wxcocoa.xcodeproj file with Xcode, click Compile, and wait for the compilation process.

Error occurred during compilation "cannot initialize a  variable of type  webbackforwardlist * '  with < span class= "n" >an rvalue of type  ' wkbackforwardlist *   webbackforwardlist* history = < Span class= "p" >[m_webview backforwardlist

This was a reported bug with wxWidgets-3.0.2, only occurs on Yosemite. The reason for this bug was that Apple updated it's Headers for Webkit. Fortunately, the old headers still exist in a header file called WebkitLegacy.h . This bug, however are fixed in the 3.0.3 version of the library, but isn ' t still available for download (you can still get That by cloning the wxwidgets repo). Currently to fix this, all of you need to edit a file and look for line src/osx/webview_webkit.mm 31.

This is a bug on the Yosemite system, as Apple updated the WebKit header file to find the following code in the 31 lines of SRC/OSX/WEBVIEW_WEBKIT.MM:

#include <WebKit/WebKit.h>

The above is the line from the source file wxWidgets-3.0.2/src/osx/webview_webkit.mm . All your need to do are to replace that line with the following alternative.

Remove this comment and replace it with the following code:

#include <WebKit/WebKitLegacy.h>

Continue compiling, knowing that the last successful completion.
