You cannot just download wxWidgets code from GitHub as a zip, the archive unfortunately does not contain code for the GIT submodules (this is a GitHub feature).

If you want to use the master, you need to use GIT (and make sure to checkout submodules),see https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/master/README-GIT.md.

This is not true, there are zip files that do have the submodules...

for example this one: https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.1.6/wxWidgets-3.1.6.zip

Sorry, I was quick to reply, I misread the title and thought that he was talking about the latest 3.1.6 release :)

Eran,

you are confusing two archives: (1) the repository code produced by GitHub and (2) the release archive.

The former, obtained by clicking on Code/Download ZIP, does NOT contain the code for GIT submodules (the folders in the "3rd party" folder are empty).

The archives available on the Releases page for a specific release are prepared manually, and thus have all the code.

Stormfinger clearly specified that they are interested in the current master, which is of course not available as a release.
