It is correct! Normaly you need not edit something, only for special 
cases (multithread, special debugging, monolythic lib ...)!

I have done it on a very simple way:
Download wxWidgets!
Extract or install (best solution wxWidgets-2.8.0)
set the enviroment varialble wxWin=%PathDir of wxWidgets% (in 
SystemSettings, Properties....)
then jump to the dir build/msw
run the build from command line (it is not so ctitical)
Finito!
