No, it means ../src/gtk/cursor.cpp doesn't include gdk/gdk.h (and
ultimately gdk-display.h) or that the build system didn't
add /usr/include/gtk-2.0 as include path or that you stripped
the output too much and the header is just not present.

=> bug in wxwidgets buildsystem or insufficient system setup (lacks -dev
packages)
I doubt wxwidgets are handled on this list. You should report at their
bugtracker.

i have no xrender shared object either, i doubt there was.

xdpyinfo | grep -i render
-> does it print "RENDER"? then it's enabled
xdpyinfo -ext RENDER tells you all about the extension
