Hi Guys,

Sorry I've not given out much information yet. This is where I am:

I've nearly finished converting wxWidgets to a cmake build system. There
are some more options I need to cover first, but it builds well now and
with -j 8 it takes 4m30s to build a release DLL version on my system (i.e.
slow MinGW)

Using the toolchain method it also cross-compiles well under Ubuntu too. I
have some work to do with the native Linux build, and there are plenty of
obscure options which can be implemented at a later date - but I want to
push to get this put into wxWidgets. Wish we me luck! I'll do it in the
standard way of setting it up as a separate project and push to get it
merged at some point. The same as wxPython is doing really.

The plan is to have a -DWXPYTHON=ON cmake option which will also enter the
wxPython directory and build that too. That is the next job.

This project can then be used by KiCad on Windows to provide the wxPython
libraries (either as pre-built binaries or as source)

So, it's getting there - converting wxWidgets has taken some time.

Best Regards, Brian.
