Wxbase is a collection of c++ classes providing basic data structures (strings, lists, arrays), powerful wxdatetime class for date manipulations, portable wrappers around many os-specific functions allowing the same program to work for all supported platforms, wxthread class for writing multithreaded programs, and much more.

wxbase currently supports the following platforms: generic unix (linux, freebsd, solaris, hp-ux, ...), microsoft windows, and mac os x.

this package provides a debug version of the wxbase library. it is compiled both with -g for normal debugger tracing and with the __wxdebug__ flag which provides many internal checks by wxwidgets itself that are not performed on apps compiled with the 'release version' libs in the -dev package.
