Seth, thanks for the reply.

cmake -L shows the options as I define and then after compilation and
(successful sudo) install - the version info still shows they weren't
enabled.

I have since tried cmaking then compile/install from the root source
directory (not ./build/release)​

​and that works! I only enabled the python module but now I have it.​
​ So I'm not doing something correctly
with cmake it seems. To be clear I do this:

mkdir build/release
cd build/release
cmake -D all the options ../../
make
sudo make install

which doesn't work. But

cmake -D all the options
make
sudo make install

does.
Now I'm trying to compile wxPython against gtk2 so I can have the action
menu scripts back.
Thanks,
Matt​
