Please report the problem ​upstream and let us know the ticket number (or a link to the ticket).

I would also suggest you to try to use a different compiler (for example macports-clang-3.4 or 3.3) just to check if that makes any difference. What compiler version did you use? I would like to check if it is possible to reproduce the error on another OS version with a newer compiler.

Ran into this this morning. I found the following upstream report:

​http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/16329

[Schamschula (Marius Schamschula)]

Cc Me!

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Thank you for the link. Can someone with Yosemite please try to prepare a patch that works for you?

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

The attached patches work for me on Yosemite beta 3.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

Please commit it then.

Out of curiosity: does wxgtk-2.8 work on Yosemite?

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

But please add the source of the patch if one exists (​http://trac.wxwidgets.org/changeset/xyz) or at least the reference to the ticket.

The ticket mentions three commits, but none of those match the change that you used (even though they mention this patch as a possible candidate).

[mf2k (Frank Schima)]

r125408. I'll leave this ticket open for other user comments and potentially a better fix. But feel free to close it.

I have not tested wxgtk-2.8 on Yosemite yet.
