Hi,
Since ~March, we have a GTK+ 3 build of wxWidgets in Unstable/Testing.
Packages that use wxWidgets may switch over to this build if they desire,
although we are not pushing to remove the wx GTK+ 2 package in Buster, so
packages can continue to use the GTK+ 2 build for Buster.
To switch a package over to the GTK+ 3 build, it could be as simple as
changing the Build-Depends from libwxgtk3.0-dev to libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev,
rebuilding, and testing.
A couple of known issues:
1) If your package uses wxSpinCtrl and hard-codes the widget size, or does
not have additional horizonal space, the size may have to be adjusted.
This is due to the underlying GtkSpinButton having switched to a wider
layout in GTK+ 3.
2) If your package uses wxGLCanvas, it won't work under Wayland. This is
due to wxGLCanvas (currently) requiring X11 to function. This can be
worked around by forcing the GDK backend to X11. Here's one example of
how this has been done: [1]
We have set up a tracker to track the progress of moving to the GTK+ 3
package here: [2]
Here is a dd-list output for the packages that build-depend on wxWidgets:
