app distributions

[John Ralls]

Sure, you can distribute whatever you want, as long as it's legal.  
Whether the result is usable is up to you. ;-)

This is actually a reasonable thing to do for OS-X 4 and 5 (aka Tiger  
and Leopard), as wxWidgets is already there (though only 10.5 has a  
recent and stable version). It's also reasonable if the user's Linux  
platform has a wx package available and you're distributing a package  
that can make wx a dependency.
It probably doesn't make sense for M$ Windows, unless your target  
users are quite sophisicated.

If you're worried about dll-hell and such, you could do as Julian  
Smart does for DialogBlocks and build a static version of wx, which  
you'll then statically link into your app. Makes the exe a bit big  
but finesses all of the versioning bugaboos.

Regards,
John Ralls
