wxGTK is primarily used for X11 (*nix) systems. In theory, you could use 
it on Windows, either by running an X-server in cygwin or something, or 
by using the windows version of GTK.

However, the point of wx is to use the native widgets on each platform 
-- GTK is native to *nix, but not to Windows.
