Setup wxWidgets for C++ Library on Ubuntu 18.04

• Since the official Ubuntu repository is likely to have a dated wxWidgets version , the best option is to download the source code and compile it
• From https://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/ under Latest Development Release click on Source for Linux, MacOS etc.
• This will download the tar file. Unzip the archive into a folder eg wxGTK.
• Make sure the basic development libraries are already present on the system: sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev build-essential checkinstall
• Make the unzipped directory as current eg. cd /var/wxGTk
• Create a directory to build the library and start the build process:

          mkdir gtk-build
          cd gtk-build/

• Configure the build flags and run configure followed by make

           ../configure --disable-shared --enable-unicode
           sudo make install
           sudo ldconfig

• Test the configuration with the following commands:

wx-config --version 
wx-config --list
