 **Xcode:** On OsX most of the common development utilities that are referenced by perl (gcc, make, etc) are provided by installing Xcode. The instruction sets below assume that you have installed these or reasonable substitutes on your system, that they are properly in your path, etc. 
+
+**Wx Tests:** There will be a point where you are compiling Wx. The tests for Wx involve generating many window primitives. These tests will fail if they are run inside of a gnu-screen or ssh session. (The error message might be a bit strange: stating issues creating the clipboard because of permissions.) Additionally, during the test cycle many of the tests will grab focus on the UI. This will make your system unusable for a short period of time. Let the tests run. If you try to quit out of them, you will cause the tests to fail and it will halt the compile.

+== Creating an App Icon for your command-line Padre ==
+
+It is possible to create an Application icon to launch your command-line version of Padre. You can create an Applescript application to do this.
+
+Launch the Applescript Editor from the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
+
+You will enter a line to launch padre which which uses the full path of your preferred perl and padre. 
+
+For Mac ports:
+{{{
+  do shell script "/opt/local/bin/perl /opt/local/bin/padre"
+}}}
+
+For Citrus Perl: (change `/Users/joe/dev/` to your path for Citrus Perl)
+{{{
+  do shell script "/Users/joe/dev/CitrusPerl/i32/5-12/bin/perl /Users/joe/dev/CitrusPerl/i32/5-12/site/bin/padre "
+}}}
+
+Select "Save As" under the file menu. Select the format of "Application." Name it what you'd like and install it where you'd like it to be. (IE: the Applications folder)
+
+Clicking on this icon should now launch Padre.
