Cannot find wxWidgets - no vcpkg and no HKEY

Usage
1

I searched other messages and couldn’t find a reference to my particular problem.

I have wxWidgets installed with just the wxwin variable set to the install location. I looked at the FindwxWidgets.cmake file, and it only searches vcpkg (which I don’t have installed), and the HKEY registry (which is not installed). Is there a work around?
Thank you,
Bob K.

Which variable exactly? And how/where are you setting it?

As a system variable on Windows 11:

wxwin=d:\wxWidgets\3.1.5

What kind of FindwxWidgets.cmake did you look at? The official one supports the envvar for more than a decade or so:

The one I have is in the location:

C:\Program Files\CMake\share\cmake-3.24\Modules

This is what the code looks like in the FindwxWidgets.cmake file I have:

Look for an installation tree.
