[CMake] wxWidgets, cmake and parallels & msys is confused

[Werner Smekal]

Hi,

I needed some time to understand your setup :), but four things come 
into my mind:

1) Is it possible that you have some old cmake config files left 
somewhere from a cmake configuration on the mac, since you build your 
program from the source which is on /z which I believe is the mounted 
Mac OS X partition? If you have such stale files left that might be the 
reason of this misconfiguration. Remove the build directory completely 
and start from scratch again. Check the source tree if there is some 
file there which doesn't belong there.

2) Just to make sure - copy the source files into your virtual partition 
and run the build again. In addition you could unmount z: so it msys 
can't find wx-config from Mac OS X in any case.

3) You could run the build with "make VERBOSE=ON" and you would see how 
the compiler is called with which options. This might help.

4) Get VirtualBox :) and drop Parallels.

HTH,
Werner
