hi Werner,

I've got a question regarding your cookbook. The strange thing is that CMake
finds wxwidgets for some project, but not for all.

I tried to build the minimal sample of wxwidgets to proofe if my code is the
problem. but here CMake says wxwidgets not found, whereas in my code directory
CMake finds wxwidgets.

Do you know why that could be?

I used the CMakeLists.txt from here:
http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/CMake
and tried several variants to make minial.cpp work.
