[Lorenzo Farina <lf.underscore@xxxxxxxxx>]

I add here a related issue while compiling kicad against wxW 2.9.1.
This should be solved by this patch. The init of the application
generates an assertion:

"wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING is no longer supported, add charset to your catalogs"

Since the new wxW version is always built as UNICODE, message catalogs
are translated anyway.
wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING is thus deprecated. The use of that flag in
Init() function generates a debug assertion in wxW 2.9.1.

I think you already know this issue.
This patch should avoid this assertion.

This is what reported into the intl.h file:

"Remove wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING flag.

This doesn't affect Unicode builds, only the legacy ANSI one.

PO files are now always converted to the appropriate charset according
to current locale. This was the default behavior for long time; not
doing the conversion was always a fragile hack that didn't work well.
Removing this flag simplifies wxLocale code. "

wxLOCALE_CONV_ENCODING is hence available only in 2.8 compatibility mode.

Just signaled here.

Best regards,

Lorenzo
