Build problems #1

This could be from my ignorance but I get this error when running ./configure. I have so far been unable to find the dependencies possibly due to it being Ubuntu 19.04

            Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory
            where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned by
            'wx-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
            equivalent variable and wxWidgets version is 2.6.0 or above.

` Here is what I got back from the wx-config --libs command.

Hi, Steve! Try "wx-config --list" to see all possible configurations installed on your system. If there's any without unicode, then there's some other issue. For example, mine (this one is a Debian 9 32 bit system) says

wx-config --list Default config is base-unicode-3.0 Default config will be used for output

This one will not work! You need one without unicode. It should say "ansi" instead of unicode.

Also, check all versions of the wx library installed on your system. On debian based systems, you can use the "update-alternatives" tool to select a different version and check if that one supports a mode without unicode. I got this to build (only yesterday... that's 19Mar2020) by compiling wxGTK 2.8.12 from source with "./configure --disable-unicode" while building. But the JSBSimCommander code required some further edits before I could compile. And fyi, I used a Debian 8 amd64 machine for the build. I want to upload the edited project on github. May take a couple of days. I'll link it in here when I do.
