At first I saw bakefiles as a scary thing. But once you get a hold of
them,they are really useful. Specially if you use the templates provide
by wxcode for building wxWidgets application. You can have with almost
no work all the compilation settings that wxWidgets has.
I really recommend it. Any questions you can ask them at the wxcode
mailing list.
