[CMake] cmake and wxwidgets on windows

[Werner Smekal]

Hi John,

uncomment the debug message output in FindwxWidgets.cmake:

# Helper macro to control the debugging output globally. There are
# two versions for controlling how verbose your output should be.
MACRO(DBG_MSG _MSG)
   MESSAGE(STATUS
     "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_FILE}(${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_LINE}): ${_MSG}")
ENDMACRO(DBG_MSG)
MACRO(DBG_MSG_V _MSG)
   MESSAGE(STATUS
     "${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_FILE}(${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_LINE}): ${_MSG}")
ENDMACRO(DBG_MSG_V)

you'll get much more information which normally should give you hints  
where the problem is. I usually compile wxWidgets with the commands

mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1

or

nmake -f makefile.vc BUILD=debug MONOLITHIC=1 SHARED=1

set the %WXWIN% environment variable and add some cmake options, e.g  
for MinGW debug:

-DwxWidgets_LIB_DIR=%WXWIN%\lib\gcc_dll -DwxWidgets_CONFIGURATION=mswd  
-DwxWidgets_USE_MONOLITHIC=ON

Have a look also at the top of FindwxWidgets.cmake about the available  
options. Together with the debug output this should help you to find  
the problem.

Are you using MinGW or Visual C++?

Regards,
Werner
