 .SH DESCRIPTION
+\fIwx\-config\fP is a tool to determine the compiler and linker
+flags required for applications using the \fIwxWidgets\fP toolkit(s).
 .PP
-\fIwx-config\fP is a tool used to determine the compiler and
-linker flags that should be used to compile and link programs
-that use \fIwxGTK\fP.
-.
+\fIwx\-config\fP is normally a symlink to one of the port\-specific
+versions like \fIwxbase\-config\fP or \fIwxgtk\-config\fP which
+designates the default port to compile applications with.
+You can override this default either by using one of the specific
+versions directly, or by changing which version the symlink points to.
+On Debian systems this can be done using the
+.BR update\-alternatives (8)
+mechanism.

+\fIwx\-config\fP accepts the following options:

 .B  \-\-version
-Report the currently installed version of \fIwxGTK\fP.
-.TP 8
-.B  \-\-libs
-Output the linker flags necessary to link a \fIwxGTK\fP program.
-.TP 8
+What to
+.B ALWAYS
+include in a bug report.
+.TP 15
+.B  \-\-libs[=LIBS]
+Generate linker flags for a \fIwxWidgets\fP program.
+The optional argument is a comma separated list of the wxWidgets libraries
+to link with.  You may include contrib libs here too.  If no argument is
+given it will assume you wish to link all 'core' libraries.

 .B  \-\-cflags
-Output the compiler flags necessary to compile a \fIwxGTK\fP program.
-.TP 8
+Generate compiler flags for the same.
+.TP 15
 .B  \-\-cc
 Output the name of the C compiler \fB$(CC)\fP.
-.TP 8
+.TP 15
 .B  \-\-cxx
 Output the name of the C++ compiler \fB$(CXX)\fP.

+If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that \fIwxWidgets\fP
 was built with when computing the output for the \-\-cflags and
