well, I  took the advice offered and added the wxWidgets bin directory 
to the front of my PATH.  I added  the wxWidgets lib directory to the 
front of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.



cmake . -DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/home/jfm/wx/bin/wx-config

cmake . -DwxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/home/jfm/wx/bin/wx-config
CMake Error at CMakeModules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:136

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

This is the error I have been struggling against.  Notice the complaint 
about  2.8 and 3.0.   That is,  the argument to cmake was pointless.  
But also notice it did find wxWidgets at ~/wx. It then corrupted the 
output to look like it was meant for Windows, not Linux.  Linux would 
throw up on such drivel. wx-config --libs gives what I would expect

/home/jfm/wx/bin/wx-config --libs
-L/home/jfm/wx/lib -pthread   -lwx_gtk2u_xrc-3.0 -lwx_gtk2u_html-3.0 
-lwx_gtk2u_qa-3.0 -lwx_gtk2u_adv-3.0 -lwx_gtk2u_core-3.0 
-lwx_baseu_xml-3.0 -lwx_baseu_net-3.0 -lwx_baseu-3.0

That, at least, looks good to me.


so next I tried

cmake . -DwxWidgets_ROOT_DIR=/home/jfm/wx

but that gives exactly the same error as the previous error.

Finally I tried just this

cmake  .

expecting that to fail, and it did but it gave me the same error as all 
the rest of these attempts.

So I am out of possibilities that Google gave me.

How does anybody run cmake with wxWidgets not in /usr/local nor in the 
system dirs?
