--== notes about wxWidgets problems ==--

Kicad needs wxWidgets, the multi platform G.U.I.
|
|
Known problems:
|
|
wxMSW:
|
|
use *only* wxWidgets >= 3.0
|
|
|
|
wxGTK
|
|
Use wxWidgets 2.8.10 or later
|
|
|
|
Linux and macOSX
|
|
- Printing problems (all version).
|
|
Note old versions of wxWidgets give *very ugly results*
|
|
(poor printing resolution set to 72ppi)
|
|
|
|
So use a very recent version (>= 2.8.10 (that also solve other bugs)
|
|
|
|
wxWidgets patch:
|
|
|
|
|
|
wxWidgets 2.9.1 (all platforms)
|
|
Has a problem when using the built in string to double conversion:
|
|
In countries using a comm instead of a point as floating number separator
|
|
after calling this conversion function, the comma is changed in point.
|
|
(Happens after reading a parameter stored in a wxConfig structure, if this
|
|
parameter is a double)
|
|
Workaround:
|
|
Use a version >= 2.9.3
|
|
|
|
|
|
*************************************************************************************
|
|
wxGTK version: All before wxWidgets 3.0

|
|
Patch for printing wide traces that were shown with missing rounded end caps.
|
|
Without this patch, printing boards and schematics under Linux, and perhaps OSX
|
|
gives ugly drawings.
|
|
|
|
wxGTK-2.8.11/src/generic/dcpsg.cpp
|
|
search for:
|
|
line 1636
|
|
PsPrint( "%%EndProlog\n" );
|
|
|
|
Add after this line:
|
|
PsPrint("%%BeginSetup\n");
|
|
PsPrint( "1 setlinecap\n" );
|
|
PsPrint("%%EndSetup\n");
|
|
|
|
|
|
Known bug on Windows:
|
|
Postscript printers print tracks like tin line.
|
|
It happens only for PS drivers, and PDF printer.
|
|
Other drivers (PCL for instance) work fine,
|
|
so it is unlikely a bug inside Kicad/wxWidgets
