Debian and libwx-c

Ok, after a bit of advice & much trial-and-error I decided the prebuilt wx.NET 
files may not be compatable with my current Debian environment, so I tried to 
build them from the sources.

This was also unsuccessful, possibly partly due to my insistence on installing 
everything I can from official Debian packages, along with lack of extensive 
knowledge on handling these anomalies.

In wx.NET-0.3 I did:
# premake --target gnu
then make
(also tried premake --with-shared --target gnu)

It gives this:

==== Building wx-c ====
document.cxx
document.cxx: In function `wxOutputStream* wxDocument_SaveObject(wxDocument*,
   wxOutputStream*)':
document.cxx:123: error: no matching function for call to `wxDocument::
   SaveObject(wxOutputStream&)'
/usr/include/wx/docview.h:90: error: candidates are: virtual std::ostream&
   wxDocument::SaveObject(std::ostream&)
document.cxx: In function `wxInputStream* wxDocument_LoadObject(wxDocument*,
   wxInputStream*)':
document.cxx:129: error: no matching function for call to `wxDocument::
   LoadObject(wxInputStream&)'

   wxDocument::LoadObject(std::istream&)
make[1]: *** [obj/document.o] Error 1
make: *** [wx-c] Error 2

---------------------
Now, in docview.h, I find this:
---------------------
#if wxUSE_STD_IOSTREAM
    virtual wxSTD ostream& SaveObject(wxSTD ostream& stream);
    virtual wxSTD istream& LoadObject(wxSTD istream& stream);
#else
    virtual wxOutputStream& SaveObject(wxOutputStream& stream);
    virtual wxInputStream& LoadObject(wxInputStream& stream);
#endif

---------------------
while in the Debian changelog I find this:
---------------------
wxwindows2.4 (2.4.2.4) unstable; urgency=low
  * Enabled iostream support despite my opinion of this c++ 'feature'.
    Closes: #211050
---------------------

Now I am guessing I must determine where this wxUSE_STD_IOSTREAM flag should 
be set, and does this require building all of wxWindows from source & 
changing the default options used in the Debian package ?

Note: I had expected the wxWindows stuff to have been installed from 
debian-testing, but it appears to have come from debian-unstable.  Should I 
back it out & try an older version ?

Any suggestions welcome, particularly those related to wx.NET or wxWindows...
