include/wx/wx.h includes "wx/defs.h" which incudes "wx/platform.h"
which includes "wx/setup.h" which is NOT in wxWidgets/include/wx !

For builds using configure run $wx-config --cxxflags to get the proper
flags for your compiler. You need to do this to get them right for
different builds you may try in the future, don't waste  your time
trying to hard code them into your Makefile.

Please take a look at this Makefile and also the one in the
wxCode/components/wxstedit/src dir if you plan to build a library as
well. They use the wx-config script.
