Ok.. so I installed wxWidgets just fine. I went back to wxCam and ./configure; make
Got a long string of normal looking responses, but at the bottom was this:

Code:
checking for pkg-config... no
checking for WXCAM... configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.  Make sure it
is in your PATH or set the PKG_CONFIG environment variable to the full
path to pkg-config.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables WXCAM_CFLAGS
and WXCAM_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

To get pkg-config, see <http://pkg-config.freedesktop.org/>.
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

I followed the link and got sent the a wiki. They linked another site and I could not find the file there.
