If you happen to know how to compile Wx sources with the current MinGW compiler from its web site, I'm interested in specifics. I followed the Wx wiki instructions to the letter but get many compile errors. I'm also interested in specifics for using the VC++ 2005 compiler from the command line after it has been used to compile the Wx libraries. The wiki instructions include a dizzying list of IDE and XML configuration file changes.
