Sorry it's wxWigets 2.8.11 not 2.8.10 Resolved with simple change to match declaration of select() in /include/w32api/winsock.h with that in /usr/include/sys/select.h I hope I picked the right one!
Frédéric, thanks for the help setting flags, but that wasn't the (only) problem. From the make log I had this, and I've marked the change I made in {{ }} and added some new lines for clarity. Sorry for not following standard syntax, I'm an old programmer just getting into the modern style of how to do things cross platform.
