That irritated me a little as well.

If you follow the instructions from the Cygwin/Mingw32 section, then you 
  manually have to add the line

#define wxUSE_DATEPICKCTRL_GENERIC 1

in the file
%WXDIR%/bld/lib/wx/include/msw-unicode-debug-2.8/wx/setup.h
where 'bld' is the suggested build directory and 'msw-unicode-debug-2.8' 
may differ depending on you build settings.

Changing the flag in %WXDIR%/include/wx/msw/setup0.h or copying it to 
setup.h or anything like that did not work for me, even if one 
reconfigures everything, which actually creates the setup.h in the bld 
directory.

HTH, Frank
