missing linker flag -lwx_osx_cocoau_stc-2.9

[mojca.miklavec.lists@…]

Compiling Poedit from trunk fails due to a missing flag -lwx_osx_cocoau_stc-2.9 (among other problems). This might be an upstream issue in wxWidgets, I just wanted to write it down before I forget the details.

After I added the flag manually, latest version of Poedit compiled just fine with wxWidgets-devel.

Failure log:

Feel free to close this ticket. The author of Poedit said that it was an error in Poedit's code, and the latest version of Poedit compiles without this modification without problems.
