Comment(by software@…):

 I just posted to the mailing list:

 Apparently this problem was fixed long ago by introducing a new port,
 called wxWidget-dev.

 Frankly, it is beyond me what the use is of a wxWidgets-dev, since
 packages like wxPython depends on wxWidgets and not on wxWidgets-dev,
 people can still not use the MacPorts solution and will get stuck anyway.

 (sorry to sound a bit bitter here; It did of course compile the thing
 manually, but decided to spend a few hours testing it on different
 platforms, checking if all was OK and contributing back to the community.
 It really is quite frustrating to see that such good effort turns out to
 be fruitless because someone else solved it but did not bother to tell the
 world about it. That makes me wonder if I better had spend time on
 something else that on contributing to MacPorts.)
