Ok, I've removed WXWIN_COMPATIBILITY_24 since I think the
!wxCHECK_VERSION(2,5,0) is good enough, but I think it should be
defined in 2.6 to either 0 or 1 no matter what. I think your
wx/setup.h (in linux in
wxWidgets/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-debug-2.7/wx for me when I
compile in gtk2 in unicode) is not being included somehow? It's
committed now.

Ok, I never install anything in my linux systems. Using your bakefile
means that we have to always use that from now on right? I've
unfortunately had problems using bakefile in linux when I download the
src and compile it myself. It can't find the wxWidgets presets IIRC.
Therefore I've been using it in windows, is it easy to compile there,
I'd hope so? :)

Probably, I've never used tried this, but I have some *.pc files on my
system and they seem fairly straightforward.

This would be good if you could add it.

Yes please, I don't have access to any 64 bit machines.

Great.
