### How do I write a Unix makefile for my program?

The simplest way to write a makefile is to copy `samples/minimal/makefile.unx` from the wxWidgets distribution and adapt it to your needs. Notice that you should not use `Makefile` file from the same directory as it only works for the samples because it assumes that the program being built is inside wxWidgets source tree.

The `makefile.unx` files use `wx-config` instead and are more flexible. The minimal makefile has comments inside it explaining how to adapt it for your program.
