Description

Build wex on Linux Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS (After Issue #117 was fixed) resulted in the follow warnings:

/home/whamilt2/Documents/spt_dev/wex/src/codeedit.cpp: In member function ‘void wxCodeEditCtrl::SetLanguage(wxCodeEditCtrl::Language)’: /home/whamilt2/Documents/spt_dev/wex/src/codeedit.cpp:306:19: warning: ‘void wxStyledTextCtrl::SetStyleBits(int)’ is eprecated: This method uses a function deprecated in the Scintilla library.

Research direction

Start by inspecting the deprecated calls at src/codeedit.cpp:306 and include/wex/pdf/pdfprint.h:747, then build WEX on Linux Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS to reproduce the warnings. Done means the Linux build no longer emits these two deprecation warnings.
