Actually, it seems this commit was backported last year and is in upstream release 1.5.7: https://github.com/MRPT/mrpt/commit/baeb1bab3cd4a0dae08d0875373797fb5407de9b But I doubt this change is actually necessary for the Debian package - if you change debian/control as per the original bug report then only wx-config for the gtk3 flavour will be installed during the build, and so that's what will get used. Adding --toolkit=gtk3 like the above commit ensures you get that if both the gtk2 and gtk3 flavours are installed, but that's just not a situation that should happen during a package build. Cheers, Olly
