Survex 1.2.17 fails to compile on Fedora 21

[Bill Gee]

Hi Wookey -

As it turns out, I cannot remove wxGTK version 2.  There are other 
applications that depend on it.  Audacity is one, and I use that a lot.  Also 
hugin.

I have been looking at Olly's patches from git.  I don't know how to apply 
them automatically, so I have been trying to type them in.  It's not working.  
How are git patch applied to a source code tree??

Alternative - Is there an option for the survex "configure" program that tells 
it to use wxGTK3 instead of 2?

Thanks - Bill Gee
