I confirm the %zu is not working on my install.

m_out->Print( aNestLevel+1, "(drawings %zu)\n", aBoard->Drawings().size() );

generates the warning:
warning: unknown conversion type character 'z' in format [-Wformat=]

on my install:

Platform: Windows 7 (build 7601, Service Pack 1), 32 bit, Little endian,
wxMSW
Build Info:
    wxWidgets: 3.1.3 (wchar_t,wx containers)
    Boost: 1.71.0
    OpenCASCADE Community Edition: 6.8.0
    Curl: 7.66.0
    Compiler: GCC 9.2.0 with C++ ABI 1013

And I never saw %zu working on my W7 32 bits install.
