RE: [Discuss-gnuradio] Error on Build of wxPython

Don,
I'm glad people smarter about these things than me are ready to help.  That did 
the trick.  It seems to be installed properly now.

Once again, it appears that a change in the wxPython release has broken the
Cygwin build.  I don't know how it is supposed to work, but I made it work
by doing the following:

After running ../configure, find the file
build-local/lib/wx/include/msw-ansi-release-2.8/wx/setup.h and after the
line:

#define wxUSE_DATEPICKCTRL 1

add another line:

#define wxUSE_DATEPICKCTRL_GENERIC 1

then continue with the directions in the wiki.
