wx-config is a link in /etc/alternatives, so either

- replace /usr/bin/wx-config with the actual package config file (i.e. 
something like /usr/lib/wx/config/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8), or

- run update-alternatives before compiling to make wx-config point to 
the one you need

I guess for packaging the first sounds better.
