I can only imagine the pain you went through to get these builds because I'm trying to build the program on a Ubuntu 9.04 box and so far I can't seem to find all the dependencies to compile no matter how much I keep installing packages and compiling source, LOL.
I can't understand why you're having so much pain. I just followed the instructions in build-unix.txt. I made a couple little corrections for Boost 1.37, which I'll put on SVN the next time I update it, noted below:
wxWidgets --------- cd /usr/local tar -xzvf wxWidgets-2.9.0.tar.gz cd /usr/local/wxWidgets-2.9.0 mkdir buildgtk cd buildgtk ../configure --with-gtk --enable-debug --disable-shared --enable-monolithic make sudo su make install ldconfig
