USE_WX_OVERLAY=ON is mandatory for OSX, there is currently no way around it to have default canvases in pcbnew and eeschema. It is needed as a workaround for not having a XOR draw mode, I don’t know if this is also the case on other platforms.
USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=ON is optional on OSX, but some of the drawing optimisations in default canvases I did need it. I wouldn’t recommend to build with USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=OFF on OSX. Don’t know if this one is used on other platforms (the optimisations that need this could be also beneficial on other platforms, not only on OSX). > On 04 Sep 2016, at 21:21, Wayne Stambaugh <stambau...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Is there ever a reason to build OSX with USE_WX_OVERLAY=OFF or any other > platform with USE_WX_OVERLAY=ON?
