../configure --enable-unicode --enable-debug

configure: error: 
The development files for GTK+ were not found. For GTK+ 2, please
ensure that pkg-config is in the path and that gtk+-2.0.pc is
installed. For GTK+ 1.2 please check that gtk-config is in the path,
and that the version is 1.2.3 or above. Also check that the
libraries returned by 'pkg-config gtk+-2.0 --libs' or 'gtk-config
--libs' are in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent.

You may need to do: 
apt-get install libgtk2.0-common

Also, edit your Ubuntu bash profile

ALso, try installing with as this worked for me:
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

Install java 8

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer

I had serious issues with configuring Netbeans and Eclipse IDEs for wxWidgets, but it 
seems CodeLite IDE has preconfigured settings for wxWidgets.
