 Not quite because of 'd': the latter is debug build, the former is
release. And I'm also not sure to be honest if libwxmsw25d.a is a static
library or an import one while libwx_msw-2.6.dll.a is definitely an import
library. Anyhow, it's not impossible that import library naming convention
has changed since 2.5, I do remember some discussions about this. I'm a bit
surprized that the library names produced by "manual" makefiles and autoconf-
generated ones are not the same though. Could you please confirm that this
is indeed the case, i.e. that the libraries are named differently in 2.6.1?

 Yes, except for 'd' again.

 Normally the library names almost don't matter as you use just link with
whatever `wx-config --libs` outputs -- this one of the advantages of using
wx-config. You have to set WXCONFIG make variable manually however to make
lmi makefiles use wx-config, e.g. here is how I build it myself:

make WXCONFIG=$wx/mingw342-debug/wx-config HAVE_THIRD_PARTY_LIBRARIES=1

Of course, if you had installed wx, the script should be in your PATH, so
"make WXCONFIG=wx-config" would be enough then.

 Good luck,
