Good to know. DarwinPorts used monolithic lib now, but I changed
it back to using multilibs in my local Portfile repository... :-)

OK, that probably means that wxPython will need a separate install.
(both the one from wxPython.org, and from Tiger, links to "d" libs?)

I think using wx-config is the easiest by far, I use it both on
Mac OS X (Darwin) and on Windows (MinGW). But some people prefer
setting it up manually in the user interface instead, I'm told.

And for those people I've done wxWidgets as monolithic builds,
since it's only one file (and one header dir) to drag around...
(i.e. a framework for Mac OS X, and a DLL+LIB+dir for Windows)
