[GRASS-dev] wrong configure documentation for compilation with wxwidgets ?

[Moritz Lennert]

Below discussion comes from the DebianGIS mailing list. It raises an 
issue about documentation of the configure options.

./configure --help shows:

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

but this does not seem to work, while below solution does. Looking 
through the configure file, I don't really understand why this is so 
(but then again, I can't claim that I understand everything in that file).

So, is the documentation wrong, or does below solution just work by chance ?

Yes, this worked.  The packages built fine.  The only problem reamining
is the clash betwee grass-preview-doc and grass-doc I posted earlier.
Thanks everyone for your help.
