Error(s) that match a know pattern in addition to what has been reported in the summary:


/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/13/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libwx_gtk3u_core-3.2-gtk3.so: undefined reference to `gdk_wayland_display_get_wl_display'

Basically, it fails with this:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/13/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libwx_gtk3u_core-3.2-gtk3.so: undefined reference to `gdk_wayland_display_prefers_ssd'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/13/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libwx_gtk3u_core-3.2-gtk3.so: undefined reference to `gdk_wayland_display_get_wl_display'

Not sure how to determine what libs x11-libs/wxGTK needs, since it doesn't seem to install a pkg-config file.

CCing wxGTK maintainers, please advise.
