wxwidgets/3.1.5: build failure when cross compiling

[gmeeker]

In 3.1.5 wxWidgets started appending the system name to the library file names (only when cross compiling):

    if (CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING)
        set(cross_target "-${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME}")
    endif()

The build fails because conanfile.py doesn't find the correct files. While that could be fixed, this behavior probably breaks Conan compatibility. For example if you cross compile macOS ARM from a macOS Intel machine, the library names would be different than compiling directly on a macOS ARM machine.

This behavior seems intentional so I don't think we can fix it upstream. wxWidgets recently changed the cmake support to match the filenames from configure:

https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/2291

And affected file was updated again post 3.1.5, so a separate patch will be required for a future 3.1.6 release:
