Hi Jean-Pierre,

Thank you for the wxWidgets patch, I have already applied it in my
branch [1]. This week I would like to check & fix the remaining issues
and if nobody raises an objection, I will merge it to the product
branch. It still has to be explicitly enabled, so it should not cause
any problems.

I hope ngspice package will be soon provided by mingw64. The PKGBUILD is
already available in the official repository, so I hope the package will
be there soon. Before it happens, we can still use the PKGBUILD [1].
Mine could have been built with an ancient mingw64 version, so that
might have resulted in a package that does not work with other
installations.

Regards,
Orson
