7wxWidgets no longer supports GTK 1.0.x (as did some early
8snapshots) and support for GTK 1.2.x will be phased out
9over time. Nearly all work is now done on GTK 2.0.x and

MR
10quite a few of the enhancements of GTK+ 2.4.x and even
11GTK 2.8.x are used.

19Information on how to install can be found in the file
20INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on

7a1f2d57 31In order to use wxGTK with GTK 1.2 you need to use --with-gtk=1

32configure option. To build the library in Unicode mode (all
33strings will be wide strings and so on) you need to configure
7a1f2d57 34with GTK 2.0 and add --enable-unicode.

36Please note that it is strongly advised to build the library in
37a separate directory, as shown above, as it allows you to have
38different builds of it (for example with and without debug) in
39parallel. If you build in the source directory, don't forget to
40do "make clean" before changing the configuration!
