Well that's for the installed version of wxWidgets. I'm trying to make
it compile for
non-installed version.

OK, so by default the wxWidgets template is designed to compile user
project when the library is installed. And whatever you with project
settings - you can't change this behavior. Am I correct?
If I'm then yes I would like to see the wxWidgets template to be configurable.
The reason being - wxWidgets documentation says that you don't have to
install the library - you have wx-config to compile user code.
So maybe all you need is to add "Path to wx-config" to the project properties
if wxWidgets yemplate is used? I don't know.
Or just document a way of pointing to the right wx-config.

See above.
I think Anjuta just need a way of setting appropriate wx-config.

Thank you.
