Try using wxWidgets_CONFIG_EXECUTABLE=/path/to/wx-config instead of
-DwxWidgets_ROOT_DIR=/path/to/wx.  Even though FindwxWidgets.cmake
claims wxWidgets_ROOT_DIR is the way to specify a custom wxWidgets path,
I cannot get it to work either.

You could try temporarily removing you libwxgtk2.8-dev (Debian based
distros) package so the CMake will only be able find your custom
wxWidgets build.  This is what I thought I fixed by adding
NO_DEFAULT_PATH to the CMake find_file() command.  I will try to
duplicate this over the weekend and see if I can figure out why CMake is
having issues.  I will need to know what version of CMake you are using.
