<p>This file describes how I build wxWidgets and wxPython while doing
development and testing, and is meant to help other people that want
to do the same thing. I'll assume that you are using either a CVS

one of the standard prefix paths such as /usr or /usr/local if you
like, but using /opt this way lets me easily have multiple versions
and ports of wxWidgets "installed" and makes it easy to switch
between them, without impacting any versions of wxWidgets that may
have been installed via an RPM or whatever. For the rest of the
