Hi people,

I am trying to compile KiCad from source on a fresh Xubuntu installation. I
started off by compiling and installing wxWidgets 3.0.1.Then, for KiCad, I
get this error:

[ 45%] Building CXX object common/CMakeFiles/gal.dir/draw_panel_gal.cpp.o

make[2]: *** [common/CMakeFiles/gal.dir/draw_panel_gal.cpp.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [common/CMakeFiles/gal.dir/all] Error 2

Is anyone aware of a reason and/or solution?
