--== notes about wxWidgets problems ==--
Last Revised: 28-Feb-2010
Kicad needs wxWidgets, the multi platform G.U.I.
Known problems:
wxMSW:
*DO NOT* use wxMSW.2.8.1
wxMSW and 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:
*************************************************************************************
wxGTK version: All
*************************************************************************************
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
serach for:
line 1636
PsPrint( "%%EndProlog\n" );
Add after this line:
PsPrint("%%BeginSetup\n");
PsPrint( "1 setlinecap\n" );
PsPrint("%%EndSetup\n");
