If it is of any help to you - I know where you're coming from, for I am 
not very adept at working with makefiles and the likes, and I have 
recently installed wxWidgets for use with Eclipse IDE (then with 
Cygwin), it took me literally ages to get everything right:

I am currently compiling a detailed guide on how to install MSYS/MinGW + 
Eclipse CDT + wxWidgets + wxFormBuilder on a Windows XP (SP2) system. I 
am nearly finished, if you can wait another two days or so (maybe I'll 
finish this afternoon, even), I can post the guide for you, but I still 
have to work in all the credits for things that I have learned from 
other guides. Otherwise I can provide you with the guide as-is.

The clue in this case is, it really gives you a complete guide, step by 
step, in the right order, so if you start with a system that is 
identical to mine in the relevant configuration settings, you will end 
up with a working IDE. And if you do not want Eclipse, you can just skip 
those steps.

If you want to contact me directly, mail to larsDOTuffmannATdlrDOTde
