The 'easy' way to patch wxWidgets 3.0.2 is to copy the modified files over the 3.0.2 installation.  Updated text explains what is changed from default wxWidgets.

"C\wxWidgets-3.0.2\build\msw\wx_dll.sln" instead of wx_dll.dsw.
2.2. If you want to use the wxWidgets accessibility features, we have
modified one of the wxWidgets files. Rather than provide a patch,
we store the modified file in the Audacity code repository, and you
can replace the corresponding wxWidgets file. You will need to
download Audacity (next step) to get these.
In "audacity\win\wxWidgets_additions" is one .h file.
You may want to make a backup of the wxWidgets original of it,
in "C:\wxWidgets-3.0.2\include\wx\msw\setup.h",
e.g., by renaming it "setup.h.bak" before copying the replacement,
in case you also build without these accessibility features.
Copy "audacity\win\wxWidgets_additions\setup.h" to
"C:\wxWidgets-3.0.2\include\wx\msw\setup.h".
Audacity releases are built with these accessibility features.
2.2. We have patched wxWidgets with three patches. You should apply all
three. You can do this in one step by copying the folder
"audacity\win\wxWidgets_additions\wxWidgets-3.02\"
over your:
"C:\wxWidgets-3.0.2\"
This applies the three patches.
1: accessibility. Enables accessibility features.
Less diagnostics in release builds.
2: changeset_14f05... Allows disabling HiDPI 'awareness'.
3: changeset_0797a... Fix bug in accessibility.
The 'less diagnostics' in patch 1 gives the same level of diagnostics as
we had with wxWidgets 2.8.12. We found that some diagnostics in release
builds that came in with wx 3.0.2 were causing us more problems than they
were solving.
HiDPI awareness is for high definition monitors, but does not work
well for Audacity yet.
The details of the patches are in the .diff files in the
"audacity\win\wxWidgets_additions\"
folder.
If you don't want to patch wxWidgets you can still build Audacity
without applying these patches. You will need to comment out the line:
wxMSWDisableSettingHighDPIAware()
in AudacityApp.cpp, and your compiled version won't support accessibility
features.
2.3. Build wxWidgets for all configurations of Audacity that you want.
