<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: Due to a recent change there is currently a dependency

switched to using a monolithic build. That means that all of the

you may be able to work around the problem by uncommenting a bit of

<p>If you have a debug version of Python and wxWidgets and want to
build a debug version of wxPython too, add the --debug flag to the
