conversion from 'const BITMAP_OPAQUE [1]' to 'const wxString' is ambiguous

[Jerry Jacobs]

Dear all,

I tried to compile new wxWidgets >2.9.3 (rev 69021) and kicad (rev 3116) on Slackware 13.37 which results in a error. The PNG usage option is enable in the CMakeCache.txt file:

Jerry,

Does the attached patch help?

I do not believe this is the only case like this. Basically anywhere you find
wxICON (with uppercase ICON), I think could be a problem.

Yes the patch helps, now it compiles until the next wxICON thingy:
