The OpenGL failing is because wxWidgets has defaulted to an EGL backend instead of GLX and I haven't pushed the needed changes in our code to work around it yet. For now, you need to add the --disable-glcanvasegl option to the wxWidgets configure line.

Thanks for the clarification -- and to all who follow-ed up. That was the
information I needed. Now using Phoenix 4.1.1a1/gtk3 (wxWidgets 3.1.5)
from git to build both wxPython4 and wxWidgets (wxGTK3+ Slackware package)
I was able to build KiCad from git.
Thankfully I don't get the segfaults I had with the previous build (using
GTK2+ and Python2).
The one new problem I have is that the accelerated graphics no longer
work. Eeschema gives the 'Info' pop-up -- "Could not use OpenGL, falling
back to software rendering". The 'see details' twisty just gives "Unknown
Error".
I built wxWidgets (wxGTK3+ Slackware package) with configure's
'--with-opengl' switch. My hardware has not changed -- a very ordinary
graphics adapter (Intel Desktop board on-board graphics).
I built KiCad with 'cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug' so can investigate
with gdb if needed.
Could you give me any tips on what might be wrong and where to look?
Thanks again
