[2.8.4, Mac OS 10.4.9] Demos source confusion

[Greg Hellings]

Actually, building in a subdirectory is preferrable, because it allows
you to do things like build the release and debug versions off of the
same source tree.  ...just don't delete the demos/ source from the
source tree. :P

To do that the following commands would probably work well:

tar xjf wxMac-2.8.4.tar.bz2
mkdir wxMac-build-release
cd wxMac-build-release
../wxMac-2.8.4/configure --disable-debug <options, etc>
make && sudo make install
cd ..
mkdir wxMac-build-debug
cd wxMac-build-debug/
../wxMac-2.8.4/configure --enable-debug <options to differentiate from
release build, etc>
make && sudo make install

Then, to build the demos, you can go into either
wxMac-build-debug/demos or wxMac-build-release/demos and build the
appropriate ones from in there with the command 'make.'  Building in
the source tree is just asking for problems.  Cheers!
