Comment (by mojca@…):

 Forget for a moment about the thread in wxWidgets. (Just take a look at
 instructions for building for Mac.)

 I don't yet understand why Debian patches haven't made it into upstream
 yet (it would help a lot if they did), but the fact that Debian uses that
 patch and got rid of wxWidgets 2.8 says something to me. I don't think
 that all the Debian users would be live happily with a broken piece of
 software. That can happen in MacPorts community where users still have
 alternatives, but it is a lot less likely for Debian.

 > How complicated is it to build wxGtk-2.8?

 It (still) works out of the box. But that doesn't change the fact that I
 would like to get rid of dependencies on wxWidgets 2.8 inside MacPorts.

 > Could you at least do me the favour to try to figure out how well things
 work with those patches?

 I expect it to work more or less flawlessly on Linux and with some minor
 problems on OS X (that we should probably be able to sort out). But
 testing that needs a bit of work:
   * given that you used `github.setup    RJVB audacity 5195646` I would
 expect that some modifications of the patch would be needed
   * maybe some of the patches even conflict with your patches
 In any case someone needs to take some extra time to prepare a patch. (I
 didn't even try to install your version of the port yet.) I could help,
 but I need to do some higher priority tasks (outside of MP) first.
