wxWindows is just a cross-platform User Interface framework, just as SDL 
is a set of cross-platform Multimedia libraries, and Allegro is a 
cross-platform Game library.

You still need a compiler capable of producing Win32 EXEs to make a 
Windows program. wxWindows will simply make it more portable.

The build of GCC used by DJGPP is not capable of producing Win32 EXEs. 
The DJGPP libraries are also custom-made for DOS.

You could, of course, try Cygwin <http://www.cygwin.com/>.
