Quite possibly. I've been successfully building on Tiger with 2.7 for a
week or two. The problem I found last night is that the wx-config
--rezflags option is deprecated in 2.7, thus preventing a non-debug
appbundle working. Fixed that (used --rescomp instead), but then found
that wx 2.7 has a --enable-universal_binary option which I've been
battling with ever since. I've got pgAdmin to compile, but it won't link
because my PG is not Universal. I can't for the life of me get that to
build though (although there is a precompiled 8.1.3 on the net, but the
configure line from that didn't work for me)

Anyhoo, when I've figured out how to build PostgreSQL, we should be good
to go. In the meantime though, I can't believe wx dropped support for
Panther. Do the samples build and run OK?
