[Tom Crane <TPCkicad@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the follow-up.

I am building both using a slightly modified version of this http://www.slackware.com/~alien/slackbuilds/wxGTK3/build/wxGTK3.SlackBuild script.

My mods were to remove the '--disable-shared' configure options so the 
shareable libraries got built and to add an extra subdirectory onto the 
--libdir pathspecs to ensure against overwriting and other confusion.

After adjusting the PATH to ensure the correct wx-config version (3 rather 
than 2) is called I get eg.

/tmp/SBo/kicad-git/build$ wx-config --libs -L/usr/lib64/gtk3 -pthread -lwx_gtk3u_xrc-3.1 -lwx_gtk3u_html-3.1 -lwx_gtk3u_qa-3.1 -lwx_gtk3u_core-3.1 -lwx_baseu_xml-3.1 -lwx_baseu_net-3.1 -lwx_baseu-3.1


I am guessing this ought to work....

Tom.
