FreeBSD (and other systems) also do this, I think they call theirs wxgtk2u-2.6-config (for instance)
The problem otherwise is that the wx-config symlinks will conflict if you try to install more than one package. But they do set up (in the Ports makefiles) the $WX_CONFIG environment variable to point the one to be used.

Perhaps it was too hard to say "Don't they know". There are perhaps reason, they won't do it just for fun. But it isn't userfriendly.
Doesn't wx-config --version=2.6 work if you have more than one wxgtk version ?
@pivit80: seems be a "fault" in codeblocks. Wait a bit and you will see it fixed ;) Perhaps checkout revision 3758 (worked for me on suse 10.2). Just add -r 3758 to the svn checkout
pivit80:
oops... :oops:
very stupid mistake;
I haven't moved to trunk directory in my downloaded svn version.
Now all seems to works;
It is installing...
Thank you again and excuse me.

"Unix is user friendly - it's just picky about it's friends" :-)
But we should probably fix our configure so that it picks up on any $WX_CONFIG,
instead of requiring "wx-config" overrides to use the --with-wx-config parameter ?

It works fine, what I meant was that the actual *file* - be it /usr/bin/wx-config or
/usr/local/bin/wx-config will conflict between different packages upon installation.
Some package systems choose to delete the wx-config symlink from the package,
and then create a temporary symlink when you install -devel package instead.
But then you get a "dangling" wx-config program (that doesn't belong to a port/package),
so FreeBSD chose to rename the config program instead. (so they use --with-wx-config)

Which reminds me that we also need to fix it to look for 2.6 and reject any 2.8 install...

For Commodore64,
It is many years I use linux;
I've understood when a problem occurs it is almost always due to a "lack of knoledge", and rarely is due to particular linux distro;
otherwise you have found a bug in the distribution.
Besides, I've tried many distro, and can say, mandriva2007 is a powerful distro and above all a simple distro;
more visual, more connective, etc..
It may be you don't like mandriva2007, because you have had problems you doesn't manage in solve.
But, if you doesn't manage in solve a problem on Ubuntu, you change also this distribution?
The solution isn't to change distribution;
It is to understand the problem, that rarely is due to distro;
but, often is due to particular program you are compiling, lack of librarires etc..
This IMHO.

Don't know whether it's so easy. I'll look how other projects handle this.

Thanks for clearing my mind :D
You're right this works till you have independent wx packages with it's own or no wx-config. Either you have no wx-config or you have one which belongs to multiple packages, which causes problems when you uninstall one (if it was possible to install both :roll:) :lol:
But you can handle this with an extra wx-config package. No devel package installs a wx-config, but all require the wx-config package. The problem here, what happens if someone installs the wx-config without a devel package :lol: Seems to be a difficult thing, so I won't criticise any solution anymore ;)
