The supported ports are:


   - wxMSW: Win32/Win64/WinCE.
   - wxGTK: GTK+ 1 or 2 on Unix.
   - wxX11: Xlib on Unix.
   - wxMac: Mac OS X/Carbon, Mac OS Classic.
   - wxMGL: MGL on DOS, Linux and other platforms supported by MGL.
   - wxBase: non-GUI builds of the library.
   - wxCocoa: Mac OS X/Cocoa (beta).
   - wxOS2: a Presentation Manager port (beta).
   - wxPalmOS: a Palm OS port (alpha).


But GTK is not mandatory.....
