Comment (by martinl):

 From ML by Glynn Clements:

 You should probably use python-config to get this information.

 I would suggest that --with-wxwidgets and --with-python take optional
 arguments specifying the path to the wx-config and python-config
 utilities respectively, in case they aren't in the path. --with-gdal
 already behaves like this.

 Also, is there any need to have vdigit/Makefile generated from
 Makefile.in. Can the configuration settings not go into
 Platform.make[.in]? vdigit/Makefile already includes Platform.make via
 Lib.make.

 The configure checks might work, but the hard-coded linking switches
 and ".so" won't work. I suggest trying to mimic a normal library build
 as closely as possible.

 -----

 Based on Glynn's notes I updated the patch (see configure_wx-1.diff)

 Instead of --with-python=path/py-config is used --with-python=path/python.
 Configure also checks for python-config.

 {{{
   --with-python[=path/python] enable Python support (python with path,
 e.g. '--with-python=/usr/bin/python2.5', default: no)
   --with-wxwidgets[=path/wx-config] enable wxWidgets support (wx-config
 with path, e.g. '--with-wxwidgets=/usr/local/bin/wx-config', default: no)
 }}}
