I wondered about that too. In order to compile wx I use the --enable-monolithic option, but then it does not make builtin support for zlib, expat and perhaps some others (at least on OSX). Do you consider this a wxWidgets error? Another option is to make a multi-lib build and make kicad responsible for taking in all libs, but that requires more cmake surgery. > Maybe an equally valid solution is to submit a patch to the wxWidgets > team, or to your distro team, or whatever. I just wanted Kicad to tell me beforehand (before building) that my dependencies are not in order. I don't think Kicad should tell me whom I should blaim for this. > > It may not be the best solution, but before I identify the best > solution, I usually try and find more than one. I weighted the odds and thought that adding the expat one is reasonable, but if you prefer a multilib build then I will prepare the OR and begin the surgary. /Martijn P.S. Would it be possible with launchpad to make the mailing-list the reply-to address? _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
