CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS are supposed to be under user-control and putting configure-determined options in them broke something as simple as running "make CXXFLAGS=-Wno-some-extra-warning" because this overrode the CXXFLAGS set by configure and required for build. Improve this by using WX_*FLAGS in the generated makefile and leaving the user-controlled FLAGS alone. This is still not ideal as running "configure CFLAGS=-DFOO" and then "make CFLAGS=-DBAR" will define both FOO and BAR, as configure copies CFLAGS to WX_CFLAGS, and so setting it on make command line won't override it, as it should, but this should be a much more rare and also much less severe problem, so we should be able to live with it for now. Normally this commit shouldn't result in any user-visible changes, i.e. it shouldn't break any previously working scenarios and only make some previously broken ones work.
About
wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at https://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at https://docs.wxwidgets.org/

Building
For building the library, please see platform-specific documentation under
docs/<port> directory, e.g. here are the instructions for
wxGTK, wxMSW and
wxOSX.
If you're building the sources checked out from Git, and not from a released version, please see these additional Git-specific notes.
