You should not need to use "the XCode project made by Phil" to build
wxWidgets. wxWidgets makes contains (or makes, I forget which) its
own XCode projects, made by the bakefile system. Obviously if wxWidgets
has updated since Phil made his XCode project, his file may have stopped
working.

What I suggest you do is build wxWidgets (changing only the postscript
setup) using their standard procedure, then try out some of the
"samples" files. As I understand it, they come with their own XCode
projects too.

As to what, specifically, the linker error is, I am not sure. It almost
looks like it's a "static library can't reference dynamic linked code"
problem.
