extractedthe SDK and copied into the new XCode location (under /Applications). I could then compile wxWidgets and their

I use the attached script usually - that gets me a complete set of
wxWidgets builds so I can test static vs. dynamic and debug vs.
release. It should also avoid most causes of the error below.

becauseit was configured without the --enable-unicode option, or the combination of dynamic/static linking and
debug/non-debuglibraries selected did not match any installed wxWidgets libraries.
