I now have another data point. I upgraded to wxWidgets 3.0.2 from 3.0.0
on my laptop msys1/mingw32 build and the mirrored printing is now
broken. Here is the build information:
Application: kicad
Version: (2015-01-19 BZR 5380)-product Release build
wxWidgets: Version 3.0.2 (debug,wchar_t,compiler with C++ ABI 1002,GCC
4.7.2,wx containers,compatible with 2.8)
Platform: Windows 7 (build 7601, Service Pack 1), 64-bit edition, 64
bit, Little endian, wxMSW
Boost version: 1.54.0
USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=OFF
USE_WX_OVERLAY=OFF
KICAD_SCRIPTING=OFF
KICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=OFF
KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=OFF
USE_FP_LIB_TABLE=HARD_CODED_ON
BUILD_GITHUB_PLUGIN=ON
KICAD_USE_WEBKIT=ON
It appears that whatever the problem is it is related to the wxWidgets
version and not the compiler version. I will try 3.0.1 when I get a
chance to see if I can figure out where the breakage occurred.
