I need wxWindows to be able to build a specific non-Debian application. wxWindows is not supported on Woody, which is what I run. Hence, I need to compile it.

That being the case, you could just grab the backport from this source deb http://www.arrakis.es/~frigola/pyslsk woody/
Thanks for that suggestion, Mark. I tried it yesterday but it failed. With the benefit of a night's sleep I can now see why. The backport was made for use with an application that uses the python interface, so the binary package and -python backports are available but not the -dev or -headers. Sadly, I want to build a C++ application :(

I'll try this approach now. Thanks, Roberto.
Cheers, Dave
