Compiling Code::Blocks from source on Mac

Finally, after trying like 100 times to get a working installation/build script for the latest CodeBlocks version I managed to get it working! Now, I've got a script which I can simply run and which compiles the latest Code::Blocks version (from svn) into a application bundle for the Mac. Below I'll describe the steps I had to make to get it all working. First some of the things which are important

● I've been using the wxWidgets 2.8 branch and Code::Blocks revision 6135
● I first installed XCode on my MacOS 10.6 (xcode probably sets up the developer tools you need, but I'm not sure)
● take care of the dynamic libraries and their locations
● some paths and files need to be copied to the bundle location which is not described anywhere (untill now)
