There are two components to wx, the main build and wxrc.  If you are installing these all from packages, perhaps wxrc is a separate package. 

It looks like the cmake script is referring to /bin/wxrc but on Debian wxrc is in /usr/bin.

Is there a way I can tell cmake to look in /usr/bin for wxrc  ??

Try this:

cmake .. -DwxWidgets_wxrc_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/wxrc
You can also set this variable from within cmake-gui or ccmake if you prefer.

That did the trick for wxrc !! .. so close !! .. but now I get the following ..

Thanks in advance for all the help !!!

Unfortunately, Debian ships with an older version of wxWidgets which doesn't recognize the wxIntPtr type.  Apparently it's a wxWidgets 2.9-ism that was backported to a more recent version of wxWidgets 2.8...more recent than the copy included with Debian, apparently.

I have a headless debian box, and was able to get the program to compile by opening up odalaunch/src/lst_custom.cpp and putting the following line below all of the other #include lines but above the rest of the file:

typedef long int wxIntPtr;
See if that works for you.  I'll ping our launcher maintainer with this issue and get his take on it.

Hello, I get the same exact error message using Debian Squeeze!

What did the trick for you?? Can you please tell??

Thank you in advance

Thank you for answering HeX9109. I didn't see it before. Finally, I compiled successfully.
