wx-config is a symlink to one of the three possible versions you could have emerged, wxconfig-2.4-config (gtk -gtk2), wxgtk2-2.4-config (gtk2) or wxgtk2u-2.4-config (gtk2 + unicode). Please try: $ gcc -c `wx-config2-2.4-config --cxxflags` -Wall test.cpp -o test.o I will change the ebuild to symlink to one of the non-unicode ones so at least all apps will compile. Let me know if that helps and I'll close this bug. Thanks.
This shouldn't be a problem if you use the correct wc-config. Closing.
Please make the ebuild install the appropriate version based on the user's USE flags. Making the end-user change use flags is very un-Gentoo. :)
