+\wx\wxWidgets-2.8.0\build\pm. Now we need to set some environment
variables, namely MAKESHELL (to a Unix like shell, let's assume ash)
and INSTALL (to point to the install script. If you omit this, configure
might find something like the system's tcpip\pcomos\install.exe which will
not do the thing you want), e.g.

Be warned that depending on the precise version of your make, the
variable that needs to be set might be MAKE_SHELL instead of MAKESHELL.

being that you have to pass a switch to configure indicating which port

The magical switches that have to be passed to configure for the various

for a list of important documents and samples.
-Releases in the 2.7 series are considered development releases,
-and as such, each new release may contain significant new
-features or code changes which have not yet received thorough
-testing and/or may break ABI or API compatibility with previous
-releases. Therefore, we recommend that you keep this in mind if
-you are to base your software on a 2.7 release, and thoroughly
-test the parts of the wx library your application uses. Rest
-assured however that these potentially incompatible changes are
-made in order to evolve the toolkit to the next ABI stable
-release series (2.8.x) and that normally efforts are made to
-preserve compilation compatibility, so often moving to a new
-development release just requires a full recompile of the
-application using wxWidgets.
