Windows with MinGW

• open MSYS and change directory to wxWidgets

mkdir debug_build
cd debug_build
../configure --with-msw --enable-debug --enable-debug_gdb --disable-shared
make
cp wx-config /mingw/bin
cp -r include/wx /mingw/include/
cp lib/*.a /mingw/lib/

read <wxwidgets>/doc/msw/install.txt for more info

• to test wxWidgets:

cd demos
make
./bombs/bombs.exe
./fracal/fractal.exe
./forty/forty.exe
./life/life.exe

Debian / Ubuntu

sudo apt-get libwxgtk2.6-dbg

Linux

• Download the package from here
• follow the instructions in README-GTK.txt (mostly, see below)
• general steps (i'm tired):

mkdir dbg-build
cd dbg-build
./configure --with-gtk=2 --enable-debug --enable-debug_gdb --disable-shared
make
su
make install
ldconfig
