Re: CMake fails to find wxWidget in a fresh Ubuntu 14.04 install when trying to build KiCad

 

Hi Benoit,

Just expanding upon Wayne's answer, the way you would remove wxWidgets
2.8.12 development package on Ubuntu would be

sudo apt-get remove wxwidgets2.8-dev

or

sudo aptitude remove wxwidgets2.8-dev

I do not recommend modifying the CMake files to remove features.  There are
command line switches to turn on and off nearly everything in the build
files.  Especially as a beginner looking to start development, I think it
is best to modify the build behavior with the command line switches as
compared to modifying the file.
