I'm not good in Linux. I'm trying to build CodeLite from source. The directions on CodeLite's web site (here) are insufficient for me to perform the build. I think I am just lacking knowledge of the build system in Linux. The build step I am at is make -j4. The error I am currently facing is:

fatal error: wx/wxsqlite3.h No such file or directory

I have found that file on my system at 

/home/moving2/sdk/wxsqlite3/include/wx/wxsqlite3.h

The best guess I have is that the include path needs to be added in my environment? So I have tried adding this to the PATH string in my environment file located in /etc/ but I get the same error. How do I get the compiler to look there for my include file?

    You need to edit makefile(s) and add that directory to include list. How to that in your particular case depends on your makefile – Slava Feb 08 '17 at 22:54

    Best option: install your distribution's development package for wx instead of building your own local copy. This will almost certainly solve the problem. – John Bollinger Feb 08 '17 at 22:55

    No! Never put crap in your PATH, that's a recipe for disaster, and it won't work here anyway. That's Windows-think. Include paths are for the C compiler, so you have to pass "-I/home/..." to the gcc command line somehow, probably by putting that in your Makefile. – Lee Daniel Crocker Feb 08 '17 at 22:56

    Alternative: pass an `-I` flag to the compiler indicating where to find the headers (i.e. `-I/home/moving2/sdk/wxsqlite3/include`). The compiler does not rely on the path to executables (`PATH`) to find header files. – John Bollinger Feb 08 '17 at 22:57

    Actually CodeLite is cmake based, you need to realize how cmake searches for wx – Slava Feb 08 '17 at 22:57

If you look into CMakeLists.txt file there is a clue there:

-DWITH_WXPATH= // Specify a particular wxWidgets build to use. The format must be /path/to/different_wx-config/directory/

so rerun cmake with flags you used before and add -DWITH_WXPATH=/home/moving2/sdk/wxsqlite3 then run make again
