Hi Eric,
I admit I have trouble understanding your message. In its default mode,
dialyzer does not require the presence of 'wx'. It only requires it if
you start dialyzer using:
dialyzer --gui --wx
Can it be that you are you referring to the following line in file
dialyzer.app?
{applications, [compiler, gs, hipe, kernel, stdlib, wx]},
I am not an expert on .app files and how they should be structured, but
I see the dependency to 'wx' there analogous to that of 'hipe',
'kernel', 'stdlib' etc. which also do not have a start() function.
Anyway, feel free to suggest a concrete change and we'll adopt it.
