Thanks for that.
The specific question is why these particular dependencies are arising.The reason is that all of those wxwindows packages come from the same source package. Why exactly did you decide that you needed to compile the whole thing again?
The full story is in the previous messages, which I trimmed to save bandwidth :) But briefly, I need wxWindows to be able to build a specific non-Debian application. wxWindows is not supported on Woody, which is what I run. Hence, I need to compile it. Not sure what you mean by again?
