+# The given example enables debug informations. To disable them exchange the option ''--enable-debug'' with ''--disable-debug --enable-optimize''.
 # The option ''--with-wx-config'' must point to the correct relative path of the compiled wxMac. The example assumes that aMule and wxMac folders are in the same directory (i.e. your desktop). You should also correct the wxMac folder's name according to its version (in the example is 2.8.10).
