There's quite a nice mechanism in wxWidgets to handle this, but this
seems to be somewhat messed up in fedora currently -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1077718 suggests you might
need to use:

./configure WX_CONFIG=/usr/bin/wx-config-3.0

Or perhaps:

./configure WX_CONFIG=/usr/libexec/wxGTK3/wx-config
