wxWidgets on Linux and its Release to vcpkg

Question

I have two related questions:

1. I am on a Linux Mint OS and trying to install wxWidgets from vcpkg and having problems. Has anyone achieved to install wxWidgets from vcpkg on Linux? Are there additional libraries I have to install before it can succeed?

2. wxWidgets 3.3.0 is out but I cannot see it in vcpkg repositories. Is there a plan to release it there soon?

• Igor: you should open a Terminal and issue suddenly apt-get install wxgtk. Every Linux flavor has its own repo and it's own way to install software. 3.3.0 is just out and will be released in the Linux world after proper testing. In the mean time you can build it yourself.
• macroland: Maybe I am thinking in terms of Windows OS (I use vcpkg on Windows) and on Linux should just install wx system wide and use it without vcpkg
• Igor: yes you should. Every Linux has its own repo and it's own way of installing the package. And if you want to use 3.3, you need to compile it yourself. It's very easy. Download the source and unpack it with the Archive Manager. Then open Terminal and do cd wxwidgets && mkdir buildGTK && cd buildGTK && ../configure --enable-debug && make -jN && sudo make install.
• Igor: that's what you usually do in Linux. Except you don't have to install it, especially if you want 3.3.0. Just run make and then use wx-config to get thew appropriate compiler/linker options.
• Igor: also depending on the OS/WM, I’d first try to install from the repo to pull all pre-requisites, then remove it and compile latest versions...
