 Sorry, what do you mean by "both"?

 The latest sources in 2.8 svn branch have fixed this, please see the last
(that is the top most) 2 changes at

http://svn.wxwidgets.org/viewvc/wx/wxWidgets/branches/WX_2_8_BRANCH/src/unix/displayx11.cpp?view=log

 There should be really no need to modify the Makefile manually. Please let
us know what exactly went wrong with the original, unmodified version.

 Hmm, I do see the rule for copying bitmap.cpp in wxMotif distribution.
Which archive did you download?

 Anyhow, if you get the wxAll one it contains really everything, including
this file.

 wxMotif is a legacy port not maintained much since more than 10 years. It
still works and people with specific needs do use it but if you don't have
any particular reason to prefer Motif, please use wxGTK instead, it's much
more actively developed.
