honestly there are some problems currently with CMake (summing them up as "there 
are no standard wxpresets for cmake currently") so that currently wxWPM works 
only with bakefile.

However Klaas Holwerda and me (mostly Klaas however :)) are working on them to 
be able to provide very soon (maybe even next week) one or two .cmake files 
which should make it very easy to create cmake-based build systems for wx-based 
apps/libraries.

Once they will be in place, wxWPM will be able to launch cmake for building wx 
packages using the standard set of WX_* options (which should be made available 
in cmake presets).

Also, wxdevs have shown no problems to add such cmake "presets" under 
wx\build\cmake\presets...

done - it will take some hours to be updated on the website however.
Thanks for reporting it!
