+NOTE: After building wxMac-2.5.3, make a link named wx-config in /usr/bin/ to inplace-mac-ansi-release-static-2.5 in the wx directory  ?????\
+\
+(1) Run Configure to create the correct config.h file:\
+\
+cd /Volumes/Moon/BOINC_Mac/boinc \
+./configure --disable-server --with-apple-opengl-framework\
+\
+(2) Create a  symbolic link [path]/ boinc/wx_lib pointing to \
+[path]/wxMac-2.5.3/osx-build/lib/\
+\
+(3) Create a  symbolic link [path]/ boinc/wxinclude pointing to \
+[path]/wxMac-2.5.3/include\
+\
+(4) Create a  symbolic link [path]/ boinc/jpeglib pointing to \
+your jpeg-6b directory (or whatever directory contains the jpeglib source files).  If you have the seti_boinc source directory which contains jpeglib, you can point the symbolic link there.\
+\
+For example, if the boinc, wxMac-2.5.3 and jpeg-6b directories are all in \
+    /Volumes/Moon/BOINC_Mac/    then the commands would be:\
+\
+cd /Volumes/Moon/BOINC_Mac/boinc \
+\
+ln -s /Volumes/Moon/BOINC_Mac/wxMac-2.5.3/osx-build/lib ./wx_lib\
+\
+ln -s /Volumes/Moon/BOINC_Mac/wxMac-2.5.3/include ./wxinclude\
+\
+ln -s /Volumes/Moon/BOINC_Mac/wxMac-2.5.3/osx-build/lib ./wx_lib\
+\
+ln -s /Volumes/Moon/BOINC_Mac/jpeg-6b ./jpeglib\
+\
+\
+**** Be  sure to put BOINCMgr.icns in [path]/ boinc/client/Mac/ *******\
