Guilherme Flach has been kind enough to help us fix our code so that it compiles on Mac OS X. He compiled a binary and posted it for us to distribute. You can find it on the Downloads page.

We are very excited about this, we would love to begin officially supporting Mac. We just need volunteers to help with testing/building on Mac. If anyone is interested, please contact us.
You can find more discussion about this build on the forum.

ChangeLog:
09/06/2007 Version 3.00.49 (RC2)

• wxStdDialogButtonSizer events now Connect() to the button, instead of the parent.
• Fixed “default” property for wxButton and wxBitmapButton.

• Fixed hang if opened with a project of an older version.
• Fixed the find dialog only working one time.
• Fixed FS#230 - “Repainting issue with border drawn by wxFormBuilder”
• The value of the “precompiled_header” property should now be the exact code to be generated at the top of the source file to support precompiled headers. For example, to include wxprec.h, the value of this property should be:  #include
  This forced a project version uprev to 1.8.

• Removed #include from the generated header.
