wxWidgets - missing wx/setup.h

Question

Hi installed wxWidgets using "yum install wxGTK-devel" (I'm using fedora 20). I'm trying to compile the following example file:

test.cpp:

#include <wx/wx.h>

int main(void)
{
    return 0;
}

using this line:

g++ -I/usr/include/wx-2.8 pru.cpp

But I get that wx/setup.h doesn't exist. I looked for it and didn't found it anywhere.

The problem is that in wx/platform.h there is the following sentence:

#include "wx/setup.h"

I don't know how this is supposed to work or how can I make it work. If you know how to solve this or at least a hint I'll apreciate your help.

Follow this from the wxWidgets documentation:

Linking and Compiling

Normally when you include wxWidgets you say "wx/wx.h" however wxwidgets is in the subdirectory of wx-2.8/wx so what we are going to do is create a link to wx-2.8/wx.

sudo ln -sv wx-2.8/wx wx

That's all, now your files should compile correctly.

When you compile your files to include the wxWidgets libraries, add this to the end of your gcc command:

`wx-config --cxxflags` `wx-config --libs`

For example:

g++ your_code.cpp `wx-config --cxxflags` `wx-config --libs`
