I think wxWidgets is on SuSE Linux 7.0 because they sent me a free copy: to be confirmed.
wxWidgets for GTK+ and Motif, and wxPython, are included in the Polish
PLD
distribution.
Robin Dunn spotted that the
Gentoo distribution contains 2.3.2 versions of wxGTK and wxPython
Boa-Constructor packages.
The free
Dev-C++ IDE for Windows has a wxWidgets 2.2.9 package.
To get the wxWidgets package, load Dev-C++, go to
"Tools->Check for updates/packages" and (when the
vUpdate window comes up) click
Start. You may have
to update the updater first, if so you will have to do
it again. It will give you a list of packages and
updates to choose from, including a wxWidgets package.
There are also instructions on using wxWidgets with Dev-C++
here.
