A wx-config.exe for Windows dose exist:

http://wxconfig.googlepages.com/

Few know of it, it seems.

Installed that after uninstalling 2.6.  It has a lot more wx entries,
all of which say "NOTFOUND".

Download Mingw32 setup 5.1.4 and share the pain: :-)

'Build for: "MingGW Makefiles"'.

C:/wxWidgets-2.8.8/lib/gcc_lib

I got all of the Red entries to go away,
but it *still* tells me it can't find it.

Does this mater?:
wxWidgets_wxrc_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND
I see no sign that it was built when I built wxwidgets.

Looks reasonable at C:/wxWidgets-2.8.8/lib/gcc_lib .

Did that.
