The OS X version and Xcode version, along with whether just the command-line tools are installed, are often useful pieces of information.  Not having the system-sdk package can be due to a couple of things;

1) Only having the Xcode command line tools, and not the GUI application.
2) Xcode 7 doesn’t have a 10.10 SDK, even on 10.10, and wxwidgets300-cocoa doesn’t allow the 10.11 SDK as an option.

As it turns out, wxwidgets300-cocoa doesn’t actually need to use an SDK.  That was a carryover from an earlier build procedure, but I hadn’t updated it because I didn’t realize any packages were still using this wxwidgets packaging.  wxwidgets300-osxcocoa is the packaging which is actually going to be updated in the future (maintainer CC’ed).

I just updated wxwidgets300-cocoa to remove the SDK build dependency.  It will be available to you via “fink selfupdate” shortly.
