Alien::wxWidgets install fails on OSX10.10

Question

I'm trying to install Alien::wxWidgets version 0.67 with wxWidgets version 3.0.2, but no matter what I do, I get the following error:

checking if C compiler (clang -mmacosx-version-min=10.5) works with SDK/version options... configure: error: in `/Users/David/.cpan/build/Alien-wxWidgets-0.67-GGkXTu/wxWidgets-3.0.2/bld':
configure: error: no.  Try a different SDK
See `config.log' for more details

I've tried building with flags --with-macosx-sdk=10.5, --with-macosx-sdk=10.10, --without-macosx-sdk, --with-macosx-sdk=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/ but none of them worked.

Here's the part of the config.log, where I see the error, but I have no idea how to solve it:

If you have any idea how to solve this issue and get wxWidgets working on OSX 10.10, I'd be really grateful.

Answer 1

Add the following:

--with-macosx-version-min=10.11

Answer 2

This is not the right part of config.log, this error is normal/expected, you should look below to see the real one. Without seeing it, it's hard to be sure but I think -mmacosx-version-min=10.5 is the culprit, your SDK could be too new to support 10.5. Try either selecting a different SDK if you have an older one installed (look under /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs to check) or hunt down where this 10.5 comes from and replace it with 10.7 which is supported by 10.10 SDK (not sure about 10.11).
