Installing wxPython-Phoenix using pip in Anaconda3 virtual environment

I’ve been trying to install it using pip, but that failed as I described here: http://stackoverflow.com/q/31905496/1829329
Can someone experienced with installing wxPython-Phoenix using pip help me out?
I don’t have any idea what to take away from that monstrous log.

The first compilation error is:

   ../../../sip/cpp/sip_html2cmodule.cpp:386:1: error: ‘wxWebView’ does not name a type

Backtracking to the wxWidgets configure and build you can see this:

   checking for WEBKIT... configure: WARNING: webkitgtk not found.
   configure: WARNING: WebKit not available, disabling wxWebView

So basically it's telling you that you need to install the dev packages for webkitgtk.

That already helped, however, I edited the SO post, now I get another error when importing wx.
