Why are you trying to modify the CXX_FLAGS yourself (according to your
previous post) and not relying on what wx-config prints out? The
FindwxWidgets module in linux just returns the output of wx-config in
the standard variables for you to use, so you should not need to
modify does values.

What INCLUDE? Are you setting the variable wxWidgets_USE_STATIC to ON?
It might not be the default if there is a shared build installed as
well.

You should figure out how to call the FindwxWidgets appropriately and
not try to do this work around. This would defeat the purpose of using
CMake.
