fc2171bd | 5 | Starting from version 2.5.0 wxWidgets can be built either as a single large |
8a7fd2e3 VS |
6 | library (this is called the {\it monolithic build}) or as several smaller |
7 | libraries ({\it multilib build}). Multilib build is the default. | |
8 | ||
fc2171bd | 9 | wxWidgets library is divided into libraries briefly described below. This |
dea7a9eb VS |
10 | diagram show dependencies between them: |

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

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

28 | |
29 | \begin{itemize} | |
30 | \item{ wxSocket classes (\helpref{wxSocketClient}{wxsocketclient}, | |
0497e172 | 31 | \helpref{wxSocketServer}{wxsocketserver} and related classes) } |
cf01e37a | 32 | \item{ \helpref{wxSocketOutputStream}{wxsocketoutputstream} and |
0497e172 | 33 | \helpref{wxSocketInputStream}{wxsocketinputstream} } |
cf01e37a | 34 | \item{ sockets-based IPC classes (\helpref{wxTCPServer}{wxddeserver}, |
0497e172 JS |
35 | \helpref{wxTCPClient}{wxddeclient} and |
36 | \helpref{wxTCPConnection}{wxddeconnection}) } | |
cf01e37a VS |
37 | \item{ \helpref{wxURL}{wxurl} } |
38 | \item{ wxInternetFSHandler (a \helpref{wxFileSystem handler}{fs}) } | |
8a7fd2e3 | 39 | Requires wxBase. |

42 | {\large {\bf wxXML}} | |
43 | ||
44 | This library contains simple classes for parsing XML documents. Note that | |
45 | their API {\em will} change in the future and backward | |
46 | compatibility will not be preserved. Use of this library in your applications | |
47 | is not recommended, it is only meant for use by XML resources system. Future | |
fc2171bd | 48 | versions of wxWidgets will contain new XML handling classes with DOM-like API. |
8a7fd2e3 VS |
49 | Requires wxBase. |
50 | ||
8a7fd2e3 VS |
51 | {\large {\bf wxCore}} |
52 | ||
53 | Basic GUI classes such as GDI classes or controls are in this library. All | |
fc2171bd | 54 | wxWidgets GUI applications must link against this library, only console mode |
8a7fd2e3 VS |
55 | applications don't. |
56 | ||
57 | {\large {\bf wxAdvanced}} | |
58 | ||
cf01e37a VS |
59 | More advanced or rarely used GUI classes: |

75 | \end{itemize} | |
76 | ||
8a7fd2e3 VS |
77 | Requires wxCore and wxBase. |
78 | ||
79 | {\large {\bf wxGL}} | |
80 | ||
81 | This library contains \helpref{wxGLCanvas}{wxglcanvas} class for integrating | |
fc2171bd | 82 | OpenGL 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. |
8a7fd2e3 VS |
84 | Requires wxCore and wxBase. |
85 | ||
86 | {\large {\bf wxHTML}} | |
87 | ||
88 | Simple HTML renderer and other \helpref{HTML rendering classes}{wxhtml} are | |
89 | contained in this library, as well as | |
0497e172 JS |
90 | \helpref{wxHtmlHelpController}{wxhtmlhelpcontroller}, |
91 | \helpref{wxBestHelpController}{wxhelpcontroller} and | |
92 | \helpref{wxHtmlListBox}{wxhtmllistbox}. Requires wxCore and wxBase. | |

93 | |
94 | {\large {\bf wxODBC}} | |
95 | ||
96 | \helpref{Database classes}{odbcoverview}. Requires wxBase. | |
97 | ||
98 | {\large {\bf wxDbGrid}} | |
99 | ||
100 | \helpref{wxDbGridTableBase}{wxdbgridtablebase} class which combines | |
0497e172 | 101 | \helpref{wxGrid}{wxgrid} and \helpref{wxDbTable}{wxdbtable}. |
45293562 | 102 | Requires wxODBC and wxAdvanced. |
