wxWidgets compile fails with invalid options provided by VeraCrypt Makefile

I downloaded the VeraCrypt source release 1.26.7. I am compiling for Linux (Debian 12) on a headless non gui server system so I checked out the github for wxWidgets and ran

make NOGUI=1 WXSTATIC=1 WX_ROOT=/usr/src/wxWidgets wxbuild

I got an error:

Configuring wxWidgets library...
configure: error: unrecognized options: --enable-unicode, --enable-std_string

I edited the VeraCrypt Makefile on line 481 and removed the offending options, then it compiled ok.

Just wanted to pass it on.

Edit:

Further to this I wonder if there's just an incompatibility with the wxWidgets I pulled in and the VeraCrypt codebase at this time. When compiling VeraCrypt I am getting these errors now:

Downloaded wxWidgets 3.2.4 from the releases on the github, removed the previous wxWidgets and VeraCrypt sources dirs.

Unpacked VeraCrypt 1.26.7 and wxWidgets 3.2.4.

Now compiling gets me this:

In your first post you're attempting to build against master branch of wxWidgets which is not backwards compatible to 3.2 branch. The warning you get in your second post is only a warning and does not prevent the wxWidgets from building, just run the same command without wxbuild after it the build finishes.
