Adam is real master in MacOsX. Seems like wxWindows 2.5 supports MacOsX very
well. The MacOsX station given my sister in law to the community is still
running home 24x24.

Unfortunately, I don't know anything about MacOsX. The file structure is
different and some components need to be installed from Apple web site (Adam
took care of it). So I think Adam is the only person capable of doing such a
packaging work. Adam, do you think it is a long way since we provide MacOsX
daily builds?

The spec file manages all these dependencies. Here is an abstract:
#
Requires: gtk2 >= 2.2, glibc >= 2.3.2, libjpeg >= 6b, libpng >= 1.2.2, pango
>= 1.2.1, libstdc++ >= 3.2.2, openssl >= 0.9.7, libtiff >= 3.5.7
#
BuildRequires: autoconf >= 2.57, automake >= 1.7.5, gtk2-devel >= 2.2,
postgresql >= 7.3.2, openssl-devel >= 0.9.7
#

I am not very sure of dependencies, we may get more information from users in
case of problems.
