A patch to the Minimal Sample generally gets an immediate response, and frequently an immediate fix. Anything else gets one of the following: A) Demonstrate the problem in the Minimal Sample. B) Yes, looks like you found a bug, please debug it, and tell us how to fix it with a patch. C) Yes, you found a problem, but I'm [not me] to busy to fix it right now, please create a bug report on the Patch Tracker. D) "Do this: [something]" and it will fix your problem. > > #7 0x00316a2b in wxGLCanvas::SwapBuffers() () from > /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_gl-2.8.so.0 > #8 0x082a5f3e in Pcb3D_GLCanvas::Redraw(bool) () > #9 0x0829f8e4 in Pcb3D_GLCanvas::OnPaint(wxPaintEvent&) () > #10 0x00890c2f in wxAppConsole::HandleEvent(wxEvtHandler*, void > (wxEvtHandler::*)(wxEvent&), wxEvent&) const () from > /usr/lib/libwx_baseu-2.8.so.0 I don't understand whythis is AppConsole from wxBase. I'd expect AppGUI. Also you want to be using 2.8.11. 2.9.x is not ready for usage yet. > However.. I fear that active discussion and debugging of KiCad bugs is a > little OT for the geda-user list.

Perhaps, but its been on my To Do list for a long time to do a wxWidgets port of PCB. Take a look at this project for some example GL code in wxWidgets: http://code.google.com/p/toped/ _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
