cd c:\wx\build\msw
mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc BUILD=debug

I'm not sure if the 'BUILD=debug' is really needed, but it worked for me.

Hope it helps,

Thanks, good test, it fails.

(I did have to start a mingw shell to do this, it won't run from a cmd line.)
Not sure what to make of it...

I still wish I could just get a binary to install like was available from wxPack for 2.8! :-)

Yes, probably wxc is not installed, but that is the problem I am stuck at I think.
