wxWidgets has been integrated into OpenSolaris. Here are a couple tips for building against these libraries that worked for me (I am running on OpenSolaris 2008.11).

1. Install the wxWidgets package:

         
         $ pfexec pkg install SUNWwxwidgets
         $ wx-config --version
         2.8.8 
         

2. Install the Sun Studio Compiler:

         
         $ pfexec pkg install sunstudioexpress@0.2008.11
         

   Note that the 2009.3 version of the compiler is also available in the repository, but I had better luck with the 2008.11 version.

3. Build your application:

         $ /opt/SunStudioExpress/bin/CC `wx-config --cxxflags --libs` yourapp.cpp -o yourapp
