There are als differences in how it is found on windows and Linux. On windows I think the wxwin environment variable is used. On Linux the wxconfig utility is used. It might be worth checking what happens on cygwin
You already know this, but for the others here, the methods of finding wxwidgets are controlled by the CMake logic in cmake/modules/FindwxWidgets.cmake which is the CMake-3.2.1 version of that file modified with the section of your old patch concerning WX_LIB_DIR_PREFIX that was necessary to find wxwidgets in your MSVC case. In that file, you can see that for both Cywin and MSYS the Unix method, i.e., wx-config, is used to find wxwidgets components just like on Linux. In the distant past, I did have success with wxwidgets on MinGW/MSYS/wine (as expected since wx-config does work well on Linux), and I think Arjen is likely to have similar success also (once he gets the correct set of packages installed and once the current build and run-time errors for wxwidgets are fixed so that we can choose the default -DPLD_wxwidgets value as ON again). I also assume finding wxwidgets on MSVC will work thanks to your previous patch to FindwxWidgets.cmake to make that so, but we may need to do more work for the case of MinGW without MSYS.
