Summary0010694: FindwxWidgets.cmake doesn't support specifying a wxwidgets version.
DescriptionOriginal bug report at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=493460 [^]
It was reported against 2.6 but as far as I can tell, it still applies to 2.8.1/master. In short:

It isn't possible:
 - to specify which wx version should be found,
 - or to check which wx version has been found,
 - or to specify which wx-config program to run.
Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationI believe it should be pretty easy to support find_package(wxWdigets <version>) given the information provided by reporter. I pasted it below. Full original report is at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=493460 [^]

Some suggestions by reporter:

 - providing with an additional _FOUND_VERSION or _FOUND_RELEASE
   variable so that one can at least check which version has been picked
   up. That might be done by calling using $(wx-config --release).
 - supporting forcing the version to something user-specified. That can
   be achieved by using the wx-config --version parameter. Examples for
   that below.
 - if the previous one isn't acceptable (although I found it quite
   elegant), it'd be nice to be able to specifying a PATH for wx-config,
   so that one can determine it in debian/rules, and inject it in a
   CMakeLists.txt file.

Examples of --version use:
| kibi@waity:~$ wx-config --version
| 2.6.3
| kibi@waity:~$ wx-config --release
| 2.6
| kibi@waity:~$ wx-config --version=2.6 --version
| 2.6.3
| kibi@waity:~$ wx-config --version=2.6 --release
| 2.6
| kibi@waity:~$ wx-config --version=2.8 --version
| 2.8.7
| kibi@waity:~$ wx-config --version=2.8 --release
| 2.8

What is the status here? Desurium has the same problem. If nobody wants to fix that, I could do that.
