Hello,

wxWidgets has recently switched back to non-EGL (See
https://bugs.debian.org/1024147 and https://bugs.debian.org/1020640),
for kicad the build error is trivially fixable by changing 
	-DKICAD_USE_EGL=ON \
back to
	-DKICAD_USE_EGL=OFF \

(Ideally the cmake setup should check wxWidgets's EGL-status and set
KICAD_USE_EGL accordingly instead of failing at build-time.)
