 Hi,

 for the official Debian package we need to specify which wx-config to use
 because 2.6 can be installed on the same system.

 '--with-wxwidgets=/path/to/wx-config2.8' should work, but it doesn't
 because configure.in explicitly only accepts a binary called 'wx-config'
 on line ~ 1740:

 {{{
   if test "`basename $with_wxwidgets`" = "wx-config" ; then
     WX_CONFIG="$with_wxwidgets"
   fi
 }}}

 can we change it to be more like --with-python= ?

 {{{
   if test "$with_python" != "yes" ; then
     PY_CONFIG="$with_python"
   fi
 }}}


 the real wx-config binary on debian is hidden behind some symlinks but on
 a system with wx2.6 on it as well needs to be set to '--with-
 wxwidgets=/usr/lib/wx/config/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8'

 this is related to debian bug # 526200:

 thanks,
