Re: [RFC] wxPhoenix support

 

It does not look like it is enabled by now.

See the rules file here:
https://git.launchpad.net/~js-reynaud/+git/kicad-daily-pkg/tree/debian/rules?h=dailybuild

It uses:
https://git.launchpad.net/~js-reynaud/+git/kicad-daily-pkg/tree/debian/usewxpython.sh?h=dailybuild

To check if the wx-config and wx imported in python matches the same
gtk version, if there is a mismatch  KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON is
disabled.

One should think it should be trivial to update it, but I guess it is
a bit more difficult since the same build scripts are used for a wide
range of ubuntu versions.

Without checking the availability of phoenix on all those ubuntu
versions I guess it is possible to enable phoenix support and use
gtk3, maybe even python3 as well...
