Are you running this from ./configure, or from XCode? If the former,
the flags should be set correctly anyway. If the latter, you want to
pass "-n 0.7 -u Cristian -x EN" I think. I would not bother trying
to get "-s" or "-i" (determine svnversion, build internationalization
stuff) to work for now.

You may also need to pass "-t <topdir-path> -o <ouputdir-path>".
-t points to the top of your source-code directory, and defaults
to the current directory. "-o" points to the output directory
(defaults to "wxOil" within the current directory).

The version number it wants is the release version number. It doesn't
much matter what you set it to, to be honest - it only appears in
the help.

There is little point passing "-s" right now - it will only go
run "svn" and "svnversion" which may not be in your path.

OK, you should not need to edit that directly. Indeed, if you do,
it may not link. I think instead, when you build wxWidgets, you
should pass "--enable-postscript" to ./configure.

I take it you realize the easy way to get a list of files, is to look
in "Makefile.am" in each directory for the list of files there.
Apologies if this is blindingly obvious :-)

That's great.
