The +wxgtk30 variant lacks functionality, it seems, and doesn’t work. E.g. installing it and trying to create a new project does not give you the choice to select an object type. All categories and such are empty. 

Back to the GTK variant, but that one doesn’t work fully either, but I guess it is an Apple thing because the problem is that it cannot create a directory for a project (so probably a rights issue)

(I’m testing this for someone else who has little technical skills)
