Many old stuff as in broken links and berlios.de URL usage.

It's a wiki, go edit it. ;-) But seriously, the berlios links and outdated instructions are only half of the problem...
The biggest issue is that wxWidgets on OS X is stuck between 2.8 (10.6/32-bit only) and 3.0 (10.9/64-bit only).

The workaround (for now), will be to run with wxGTK under XQuartz.

Why should we care about 32bit anymore?

The problem is that the wxWidgets 2.8 GUI (wxMac) *only* works in 32-bit, due to Carbon.

So it needs to be updated to wxWidgets 3.0 (wxOSX) that also works in 64-bit, with Cocoa.

Seems that the timing for wxGTK wasn't all the best, as X11 GTK+ support was just removed in Homebrew:

https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/pull/39868

This means it (gtk+) cannot be used for wxGTK anymore. Otherwise it was a reasonable workaround for OS X:

https://github.com/afb/homebrew/commit/6bad8b5


So that only leaves wxWidgets 3.0 then, I suppose... I haven't checked how far away that is on trunk, though ?

Doing a custom build of X11 GTK+ just for Code::Blocks is possible of course, if one wants to continue that route.
