You should probably try to move off of Rez, for Mac OS X.
(there's no alternative yet for /usr/local/bin, though...)

Nothing wrong with that, only that broken icon on Intel...
But you should prefer .app bundling, before releasing it.

There's a few on wiki.wxwidgets.org, with different dates.
(some of them growing pretty stale by now, like wx 2.4 etc)

You might also like a description on how to build Code::Blocks:
http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_Code:: 
Blocks_from_source_on_Mac_OS_X#Bundle_application_for_Mac
It goes over how to build wxWidgets and how to bundle it up.
