Is there a tutorial explaining how to add wx libs to Visual Studio 2013?
I have compiled the toolkit, but I am not sure as to what is the library
to include in VSE2013 or how to tell VSExpress 2013 to add a library to
the path. Can anyone help me?

TIA

https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/master/docs/msw/install.txt#L466,L506

Is our documentation really so difficult to find?

Thanks for your help ***@...
However, I don't think I explained myself clearly enough. What I meant is that I have already compiled the wxWidgets GUI-Toolkit, thus, the toolkit is ready to be used by Visual Studio 2013. The next step is to create a project [solution] and add the wxWidgets lib to the project, but I don't know the lib's name or how to add it to the solution :(. So, I was hoping that someone here would have written a practical tutorial of how to create a windows application in VSE2013, using wxWidgets of course.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, nonetheless, I am thankful for your help.

This is not a misunderstanding, the above document (or rather the 40
highlighted lines of it) contains all the information you need.

If by practical you mean YouTube high resolution video with music and
dancing girls showing the mouse gestures you need to perform in slow motion
animation, then no, we don't have this. But if you mean text that can be
easily read to understand what you need to do, then the above is just for
you.

Alternatively you could just copy the "minimal" sample and go from
there. The only thing you have to do is to adjust the include and
library paths which are relative to the "samples" directory.
