Linux compilation

[oafilipoai]

Hello,

I'm having some issues compiling in Linux. I'm using Debian Stretch and I get the error bellow when I try to compile. In cmake-gui I unchecked USE_CX3D since that library also has compilation errors. I also tried to run KiCad-Librarian with wine and that somewhat works, although some menus and selection boxes are misplaced or squashed and the 3D viewer does not work.

Any help is appreciated

Change the file pdfreport.cpp, line 804 to this:

  wxSortedArrayString SortedIndex;
  for (wxStringToStringHashMap::iterator iter = FootprintIndex.begin(); iter != FootprintIndex.end(); iter++) {
    wxString line = iter->first + wxT(" : ") + iter->second;
    SortedIndex.Add(line);
  }
  SortedIndex.Sort(CompareFootprint);
  FootprintIndex.clear();

This does not cure the problem. It just changes the error slightly:

@adjco Seems to depend on how the wxWidgets library was configured. It compiles fine on my system.

Try changing the type of SortedIndex (wxSortedArrayString) to wxArrayString, with that change it still compiles and work fine on my system (debian testing).

That did the trick. Thank you Fabian, you're a star.
