Hi Hardy, Yes, my WX headers are within the path I specified. In the latest Xcode the system search path is tagged as deprecated anyhow, but not using it seems to bring back the wx.h error. Cheers.

Anyway, it should not be the system header search path because it requires „<>“ brackets in the include statements. wxWidgets uses „“. So, you should either mention the path in the header or user header search paths. > > Regards, > Hardy > > > >> Am 14.01.2026 um 12:16 schrieb Tim Burgess <[email protected]>: >> >> Hi, >> >> I’m revisiting this topic, as I still haven’t achieved a resolution. >> >> I have wxWidgets installed and built via VCPKG on my Mac Taho computer, with the headers resident in: >> >> ~/vcpkg/installed/x64-osx/include >> >> I have other libraries, such as Boost installed using the same path and triplet. >> >> I am blind and Xcode’s Build Settings UI is horrendous to use with a screen reader, so I’ve been modifying my project’s settings (Base.xcconfig) file in a text editor.

Adding this path reports no errors relating to wx.h, so I’m assuming that the file is now being found. However, the build fails with too many errors relating to WX types and methods not being defined, so I’m assuming that other headers are still not being found. Making these changes in the Base.xcconfig and getting differing results gives me confidence that I’m editing the correct settings file. >> >> Can anybody offer me any advice, please? >> >> Best wishes. >> >> Tim >> >> >> >> -- >> Please read https://www.wxwidgets.org/support/mlhowto.htm before posting. >> --- >> You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "wx-users" group. >> To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>. >> To view this discussion visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/wx-users/000a01dc8547%243d4c1200%24b7e43600%24%40raisedbar.net <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/wx-users/000a01dc8547%243d4c1200%24b7e43600%24%40raisedbar.net?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer>. > > > -- > Please read https://www.wxwidgets.org/support/mlhowto.htm before posting. > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "wx-users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>. > To view this discussion visit https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/wx-users/B21ED672-7118-4610-9418-DAFBFF86E6F7%40skywind.eu <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/wx-users/B21ED672-7118-4610-9418-DAFBFF86E6F7%40skywind.eu?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer>. -- Please read https://www.wxwidgets.org/support/mlhowto.htm before posting. --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "wx-users" group.
