I don't know if the problem remains in Xcode 12.4. If you did not build wxWidgets from source, you can try doing that and see if it fixes the problem. Let us know whether or not that fixed it. If 12.4 didn't fix the bug, then a workaround is given in the mailing list thread linked in that ticket.<br></div></div></div></blockquote></div><div class="qt-qt-"><br></div><div>(1) There is no port “wxWidgets”, only:<br></div><div class="qt-qt-"><br></div><div class="qt-qt-"><div class="qt-qt-"> wxWidgets-3.0<br></div><div class="qt-qt-"> wxWidgets-common<br></div><div class="qt-qt-"> wxWidgets_select<br></div><div class="qt-qt-"><br></div><div class="qt-qt-">Which one(s) do I need to build from source?<br></div><div class="qt-qt-"><br></div><div class="qt-qt-">(2) And what about gnuplot, which will break if I uninstall wxWidgets-3.0?<br></div><div class="qt-qt-"><br></div><div class="qt-qt-">(3) Is the build-from-source command “port -s [portname]? <br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I am just a MacPorts user, not a maintainer or anything, but I can tell you what I recently learned about building from source.
