This changed the type of the art and client ID values, which broke
compatibility with existing code, notably in wxPython (see
https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/pull/1996), and the attempts to
fix this compatibility broke it with all the existing code using
wxART_MAKE_ART_ID() or wxART_MAKE_CLIENT_ID() for their own IDs.
Keep things simple and just define the macros as they were defined
before 4552009805 (Merge branch 'pr1312-no-unsafe-wxstring-conv',
2020-07-20), except for wxART_MAKE_CLIENT_ID_FROM_STR() whose argument
and produced value was already of wxString type, and use wxASCII_STR()
at the place of use of wxART_XXX constants in wx code.
This is obviously not ideal as it will require using wxASCII_STR() in
the application code as well, but seems to be the least evil.
About
wxWidgets is a free and open source cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples. You can learn more about wxWidgets at https://www.wxwidgets.org/ and read its documentation online at https://docs.wxwidgets.org/

Licence
wxWidgets licence is a modified version of LGPL explicitly allowing not distributing the sources of an application using the library even in the case of static linking.
Building
For building the library, please see platform-specific documentation under
docs/<port> directory, e.g. here are the instructions for
wxGTK, wxMSW and
wxOSX.
If you're building the sources checked out from Git, and not from a released version, please see these additional Git-specific notes.
