So maybe this is something that should go in INSTALL.txt, but for Fedora
wx3 is available in repositories. The problem is that when installed it
names it's wx-config program (which make uses for compilation flags) to
wx3.0-config (or similar, not on my dev laptop right now). You have to make
a symbolic link from wx3.0-config to wx-config to compile.

Great work moving forward with OSX. Poor compatibility with OSX has been
one the loudest complaints I have heard from people.

Thanks!
