done

It's possible to make a bakefile which builds a lib without anything 
wx-related and then add a target (e.g. a sample) which builds against 
that lib and wxWidgets...

BTW I didn't know CTB could build also without wx given that its classes 
are named with the 'wx' prefix (AFAIR).

probably they do not exist anymore :)

that's possible too. You could just create an option USE_WXWIDGETS which 
would enable/disable the wx-specific portions.

wxCode stuff is not required at all by wxCode components build system. 
However wxWidgets stuff is.

thanks, it now compiles.

However I see it does not uses wxWidgets even in the sample... so that 
in effect it does not uses wxWidgets at all. So, the question is: why 
call the classes 'wx*' and why make wxCTB a wxWidgets "component" ?
