Hey,

I have been having trouble building pcbnew with -DKICAD_SCRIPTING=ON and
-DKICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=ON. I tried a few days ago with and without and
it's definitely one of those flags, not surprising considering the error:

I just tried with -DKICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=ON as well and that gives the
same error.

I don't have time right now to do a proper regression test but it
definitely occurs with revisions 4242 onwards.

Anyone know anything about this?

Cheers,

Kaspar
