I have very recently built a new  64-bit linux system, with a new GPU.
Of course, I wanted to build kicad on this new system.
I have installed cuda and built wxWidgets 3.0.1  and I really look 
forward to to running the push-and-shove router.

But I never make it past  the wxWidgets test in cmake.
My system has wxWidget 2.8.12-9 installed and I get the complaint that 
3.0 is required.
I built wxWigets 3.01 and installed it in $(HOME)/wx and used the flag 
-DwxWidgets_ROOT_DIR=$(HOME)/wx with cmake.   I thought this would work 
but it does not and fails on the same complaint about finding 2.8 and 
requiring 3.0 (or better), but it also says that it found my $(HOME)/wx  
wxWidgets.

That is, it fails on the version complaint first and then finds  the 
wxWidgets 3.0.1 in $(HOME)/wx, or it seems to fail first and then find 
newer wxWidgets but cmake fails overall.

The system cmake version is 2.8.12.2.
g++  4.8.3
kernel 3.16.3

I am not very  familiar with kicad cmake.  Is there some trick others 
have found to accomplish building  with wxWidgets not in either 
/usr/local nor installed in the system paths?
