config.log is your friend to start tracking it down.


What should I look for in there? I only found this when searching for "wxWidgets":

---
configure:35031: checking for wx-config
configure:35050: found /usr/bin/wx-config
configure:35063: result: /usr/bin/wx-config
configure:35078: checking for wxWidgets version >= 2.6.0
configure:35178: result: no
configure:35240: WARNING:
================================================================================
WARNING: A suitable installation of wxWidgets could not be found
==> building client without clientgui.

If you add wxWidgets to your system, then this configure script will also
configure your system to build the BOINC graphical client (clientgui).

If wxWidgets is installed on your system, please check that wx-config is
in the path, that the directory where wxWidgets libraries are installed
(returned by 'wx-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH (or equivalent),
and that wxWidgets version is 2.6.0 or above. Currently wxWidgets version
2.6.0 (gtk based) is known to work with boinc_gui under Linux. You can
use wx-config --version to find what version you have currently installed.

NOTE: if building a portable client-release, you need the *static* version
of the wx-libs installed!

You can get wxWidgets by following the DOWNLOAD link at:
http://www.wxwindows.org/

As you can see, this isn't really much different from what I got straight out of "./configure" itself.

Hi.

I was trying to compile the BOINC client (version 5.10) from source on Debian GNU/Linux, but it does not seem to want to recognize the wxWidgets installation that I have. Why is that? I have wxWidgets 2.8.7 installed.

Excerpt from "./configure" output:

---
checking for wx-libs ...
checking for wx-config... /usr/bin/wx-config
checking for wxWidgets version >= 2.6.0... no
