[CMake] wxWidgets on Win32 (MSW)

[Werner Smekal]

Hi Mathieu,

Yes, FindwxWidgets.cmake is inspecting the reg entry. I do not use the 
wxMSW installers, since I sometimes need to have two or more versions of 
wxMSW installed and therefore I always use the zip files - in that case 
you need the definitions I wrote in my email. In order to get more 
information you could enable the debug output of FindwxWidgets.cmake. Go 
to share/cmake-2.6/Modules/FindwxWidgets.cmake and enable the Debug 
messages in line 119-126. I usually do that if cmake can't find the 
wxWidgets library since the module is not too informative if it fails to 
find it.

Regards,
Werner
