- Note: always set
umask 022for system-shared libraries - See http://blog.equanimity.nl/blog/2014/02/09/erlang-r17-rc1-on-osx-with-wx-and-a-working-observer/ for the details
- wxWidgets 3.0.0 works the same in R16B03-1 and 17.0-rc2
- Note well:
wx:demo()on OS X 10.9.2 with wxWidgets 3.0.0 is still unstable, thoughobserver:start()is more stable. - If you really don't have time, try Erlang Solutions' 32bit (not 64bit) distribution at https://www.erlang-solutions.com/downloads/download-erlang-otp to use it as a debugging console.

brew install wxmac --disable-monolithicwill do. See http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2014-February/077952.html.

Then do (for 17.0-rc2, you can do it on R16B03-1 too):
kerl update releases
# parallel make shortens the build time
# (-j12 is for a Core i7 Mac Mini, use smaller numbers for MBA, MBP, etc.)
env MAKEFLAGS=-j12 kerl build 17.0-rc2 17.0-rc2 # change the build name as you like
kerl install 17.0-rc2 /Users/kenji/otp/17.0-rc2
