fc2171bd 5Starting from version 2.5.0 wxWidgets can be built either as a single large
8a7fd2e3
VS
6library (this is called the {\it monolithic build}) or as several smaller
7libraries ({\it multilib build}). Multilib build is the default.

fc2171bd 9wxWidgets library is divided into libraries briefly described below. This

16{\large {\bf wxBase}}
17
fc2171bd
JS
18Every wxWidgets application must link against this library. It contains
19mandatory classes that any wxWidgets code depends on (e.g.
bc9fa1f6 20 \helpref{wxString}{wxstring}) and portability classes that abstract
8a7fd2e3
VS
21differences between platforms. wxBase can be used to develop console mode
22applications, it does not require any GUI libraries or running X Window System
23on Unix.

25{\large {\bf wxNet}}
26
27Classes for network access:

42{\large {\bf wxXML}}
43
44This library contains simple classes for parsing XML documents. Note that
45their API {\em will} change in the future and backward
46compatibility will not be preserved. Use of this library in your applications
47is not recommended, it is only meant for use by XML resources system. Future
fc2171bd 48versions of wxWidgets will contain new XML handling classes with DOM-like API.
8a7fd2e3
VS
49Requires wxBase.
50
8a7fd2e3
VS
51{\large {\bf wxCore}}
52
53Basic GUI classes such as GDI classes or controls are in this library. All
fc2171bd 54wxWidgets GUI applications must link against this library, only console mode
8a7fd2e3
VS
55applications don't.

57{\large {\bf wxAdvanced}}

79{\large {\bf wxGL}}
80
81This library contains \helpref{wxGLCanvas}{wxglcanvas} class for integrating
fc2171bd 82OpenGL library with wxWidgets. Unlike all others, this library is {\em not}
0497e172 83 part of the monolithic library, it is always built as separate library.

VS
84Requires wxCore and wxBase.
85
86{\large {\bf wxHTML}}
87
88Simple HTML renderer and other \helpref{HTML rendering classes}{wxhtml} are
89contained in this library, as well as
