From the macOS DVD install the optional Xcode package:

• Xcode; make, gcc, …

Or download/update it from:

The command line tools are part of the standard Xcode installation.

Starting with Xcode 6 the SDK number is 10.9.

cd wxWidgets
mkdir macbuild
cd macbuild
../configure --enable-unicode --with-osx_cocoa --with-macosx-sdk=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk --with-macosx-version-min=10.6 --enable-graphics_ctx --enable-monolithic --enable-compat28
make
sudo make install

Starting with Xcode 7 the SDK number is 10.11.

cd wxWidgets
mkdir macbuild
cd macbuild
../configure --enable-unicode --with-osx_cocoa --with-macosx-sdk=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk --with-macosx-version-min=10.10 --enable-graphics_ctx --enable-monolithic --enable-compat28
make
sudo make install

• Xcode: Version 7.1 (7B91b)

git clone https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets.git

make -j 4
sudo make install

If you already had a clone you must update the wxWidgets clone with:

git pull

If the MacOSX10.12.sdk is not installed under Xcode 8, try this configuration:

../configure --enable-unicode --with-osx_cocoa --with-macosx-sdk=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk --with-macosx-version-min=10.12 --enable-graphics_ctx --enable-monolithic --enable-compat28 --disable-mediactrl

• Xcode: Version 9.1

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets.git
cd wxWidgets
git checkout WX_3_0_BRANCH
mkdir macbuild
cd macbuild
../configure --enable-unicode --with-osx_cocoa --with-macosx-sdk=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk --with-macosx-version-min=10.13 --enable-graphics_ctx --enable-monolithic --enable-compat28 --disable-mediactrl

If you already had a clone you must update the wxWidgets clone with:

git pull
cd macbuild
make clean

• Xcode: Version 9.3
• The master is used instead of the 3.0 branch because of the Dark Theme support. The 3.2 branch will be uses as soon as it comes available.
• https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/master/README-GIT.md

Described here: Build Rocrail from Source.

cd Rocrail
make PLATFORM=MACOSX fromtar
./makemac.sh

This will build a DMG with Rocview and Rocrail inside. The DMG will end up in the folder package.

makemac.sh <dist>

Example: "makemac.sh mojave" will build
"rocrail-osx-XXXXX-mojave.dmg" where "XXXXX" is the Git revision number or "user" in case of offline build.

When using an USB-RS232 converter, and the incoming data stream takes the whole bandwidth, the mouse pointer will no longer react on user movements.
Apparently the device driver and or the OS X sub system cannot handle massive incoming data and blocks other parts. The hardware is OK because running Ubuntu on the same MAC does not suffer this problem.
