I've been trying to compile truecrypt 7.1a on Debian Jessie 8.1.0 AMD64 for the past two days now. I have wxGTK2.8.12 source because Debian Jessie only have v3.0 packages. That's a problem because wxwidgets3.0 has protected wxstandardpaths so you have to use wxstandardpaths::get and truecrypt uses wxstandardpaths in application.cpp for example and it would return an error while compiling.
I'm not sure how to fix that so I went to option 2 compile wxgtk2.8.12 source using the truecrypt compile option # make WX_ROOT=/usr/src/truecrypt-7.1a-source/wxGTK-2.8.12 wxbuild. That completes then I do # make WXSTATIC=1 and I run into this error below. Even if I compile and install wxwidgets-2.8.12 myself I get this error. Maybe it's a x11lib issue?
