<p>I installed wxWidgets 2.8.9 on a Windows XP SP2 box and built the library according to the directions and now I'm trying to get the <a href="http://www.wxwidgets.org/docs/tutorials/hello.htm" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Hello World! tutorial</a> app to build from within Eclipse and I'm just missing something apparently.  Any idea how to get Cygwin, Eclipse and wxWidgets to play nice together? </p>

was posted by Lars Uffmann to the comp.soft-sys.wxwindows newsgroup.  In a nutshell:
Add c:/cygwin/usr/local/bin to the path in the Eclipse project configuration
Add ``wx-config --cxxflags`‘ to the GCC C++ Compiler command
Move the ${FLAGS} variable to the
end of the GCC C++ Linker Command
Line Pattern
Add ``wx-config --libs`‘ to the GCC
C++ Linker flags.
Thank goodness for Mr. Uffmann sharing this information; this problem has been giving me headaches for days.
EDIT: Note that there is a literal backtick at each end of the wx-config strings.  The method of escaping the backtick doesn't seem to work correctly. Refer to the linked answer for more details on exact syntax.
