When you use wx (with e.g. USE_WX= 2.8+), WX_CONFIG would contain
correct name of wx-config. In some cases, configure takes
--with-wx-config argument, in which case

CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--with-wx-config=${WX_CONFIG}

will solve your problem. Otherwise, you should patch configure
(possibly some Makefile.in files as well) to replace wx-config with
appropriate value:

post-patch:
	@${REINPLACE_CMD} -e 's|wx-config|${WX_CONFIG}|g' \
		${WRKSRC}/configure

See /usr/ports/editors/madedit/Makefile and
/usr/ports/games/blokish/Makefile as examples for corresponding cases.
