CMake could not find wxWidgets on Windows

I have the following snippet in my CMakeLists.txt, as described in wxWidgets wiki

set(wxWidgets_ROOT_DIR libs/wxWidgets)
set(wxWidgets_CONFIGURATION mswu)
find_package(wxWidgets REQUIRED
        COMPONENTS core base adv)
include(${wxWidgets_USE_FILE})

libs/wxWidgets is a git submodule. On Ubuntu 16.04, the project builds and works. The submodule description is:

[submodule "libs/wxWidgets"]
    path = libs/wxWidgets
    url = https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets
    branch = WX_3_0_3_BRANCH

However, having the same code on Windows doesn't work, with error like:

CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.9/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:137 (message):
      Could NOT find wxWidgets (missing: wxWidgets_LIBRARIES
  wxWidgets_INCLUDE_DIRS)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.9/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:377 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
  C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.9/Modules/FindwxWidgets.cmake:953 (find_package_handle_standard_args)
  CMakeLists.txt:8 (find_package)

Other wxWidgets installation from official site, including zip and Windows Installer are tried, but yeilding the same error.

This question might be related, but it has no acceptable answers.

Try using the following code:

set(wxWidgets_DIR "path/to/wxWidgets/lib/cmake/wxWidgets")

find_package(wxWidgets REQUIRED core base CONFIG) #Don't forget to add this 'CONFIG'
include(UsewxWidgets)

This works for me in wxWidgets 3.2.1
