I am trying to compile the full Erlang package from source code on a Mac running Lion. The source code is latest release (R14B04). After

$ ./configure

I got the following:

wx: Can not combine 64bits erlang with wxWidgets on MacOSX, 
    wx will not be useable

So, I figured that the wxWidgets installed on my computer is 32bits. And one possible solution would be to build Erlang into 32bits binary. (wx is optional for the Erlang system to run, but I do really need it to be enabled.) So I did this:

$ ./configure --enable-m32-build

The configuring process went fine, so I started to build it.

$ make

After Erlang building itself happily for about three minutes, I got this

...
...
gen/wxe_derived_dest.h: In constructor ‘EwxMDIClientWindow::EwxMDIClientWindow(wxMDIParentFrame*, long int)’:
gen/wxe_derived_dest.h:699: error: no matching function for call to ‘wxMDIClientWindow::wxMDIClientWindow(wxMDIParentFrame*&, long int&)’

make[2]: *** [opt] Error 2
make[1]: *** [opt] Error 2
make: *** [libs] Error 2

Now I am stuck and don’t know what to do. Has anybody successfully built Erlang on a Mac running Lion? Thank you.
