Building Error kicad-4.0.0

I try to compile the package for distribution ALT Linux. Trying to collect Kicad 4.0.0 wxGTK3.0 ends with error:

If you collect a wxGTK of git, while the assembly is successful. But there the next bug. Previous position of the cursor is not removed from the canvas until you change the scale.

Build KiCad with wxGTK3 is not supported at this time due to issues with
GTK3. You must build wxWidgets against GTK2 in order to build KiCad.
This is what our package developers do to provide KiCad packages.

@stambaughw , is there more info on the reasons? maybe a bug at wxwidgets trac ?

[Wayne Stambaugh (stambaughw)]

@Ildar, there has been no change in the status of this. wxWidgets and gtk3 require a lot of changes in the KiCad source which we are currently working on and will be released in 5.1. FYI, version 4 of kicad is no longer supported. The current stable release is 5.0.0.
