I am  using bakefile 0.2 (bakefile.org/download.html) and downloaded winsparkle master project (github.com/vslavik/winsparkle) after opening the vs2012 project and attempting to build the winsparkle project from the solution
 I  get the following errors

 1>c:\winsparkle-master\winsparkle-master\src\ui.cpp(40): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'wx/app.h': No such file or directory
 1>c:\winsparkle-master\winsparkle-master\src\updatedownloader.cpp(32): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'wx/string.h': No such file or directory

Are there any other steps I need to do inorder to obtain these cpp files. I am using VS2012 and Windows 7. Any help would be appreciated.

Don’t. WinSparkle uses 1.x from github.com/vslavik/bakefile. In any case, you clearly use the generated projects directly, so you don’t even need bakefile in the first place.

Yes. The WinSparkle source tree contains a file named README — it is named like this because *you should read it*. As explained there, you need to initialize git submodules first.
