oh... I thought it must exist! ;-) but I still didn't find it... I'll look

mhhh... confused! if I don't have wx-config I cannot enable the new wxPython 
GUI! (configure fails)

Yes, you're right. I'm working on a new MSYS environment for GRASS, and I'm 
trying to build the most options as possible to let user work on and test them 
in WinGrass (even if I'm not personally able to use those options).
 
If you tell me what data GRASS Makefile needs from wx-config file, I could 
modify configure and Makefile in order to work without wx-config
 
Regards,
 
Marco

There is a separate dev Windows package that you need to instal for 
wx-config. This has been a confusing issue for many of us. There is a 
dev package for Linux that is part of the normal group of 
installations that you can install or not. The same files are 
installed automatically in the Mac binary, but put in a different 
place than Linux puts them. I saw a link for a Windows dev package on 
the binary downloads page for wxPython and suppose that this where 
you get these files for Windows--though I don't know where Windows 
will put them.

That said, you don't need to install this unless you want to try to 
compile the new in-development digitizer. Most people are still 
having difficulty compiling this and I know that Martin is actively 
working on it. It would certainly be helpful to him if you wanted to 
try compiling the digitizer in Windows--but this isn't necessary to 
run the rest of the wxPython GUI.

You don't need to enable Python in GDAL to use the wxPython GUI. But 
perhaps you are trying to enable Python in GDAL for other reasons?
