| 5 | Starting from version 2.5.0 wxWindows can be built either as a single large | |
| 6 | library (this is called the {\it monolithic build}) or as several smaller | |
| 7 | libraries ({\it multilib build}). Multilib build is the default. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | wxWindows library is divided into following libraries: | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | {\large {\bf wxBase}} | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | Every wxWindows application must link against this library. It contains | |
| 14 | mandatory classes that any wxWindows code depends on (e.g. | |
| 15 | \helpref{wxString}{wxstring}) and portability classes that abstract | |
| 16 | differences between platforms. wxBase can be used to develop console mode | |
| 17 | applications, it does not require any GUI libraries or running X Window System | |
| 18 | on Unix. | |
| 19 | ||
| 20 | {\large {\bf wxNet}} | |
| 21 | ||
| 22 | Classes for network access: | |
| 23 | wxSocket classes (\helpref{wxSocketClient}{wxsocketclient}, | |
| 24 | \helpref{wxSocketServer}{wxsocketserver} and related classes), | |
| 25 | \helpref{wxSocketOutputStream}{wxsocketoutputstream}, | |
| 26 | \helpref{wxSocketInputStream}{wxsocketinputstream}, | |
| 27 | sockets-based IPC classes (\helpref{wxTCPServer}{wxddeserver}, | |
| 28 | \helpref{wxTCPClient}{wxddeclient} and | |
| 29 | \helpref{wxTCPConnection}{wxddeconnection}), | |
| 30 | \helpref{wxURL}{wxurl}, | |
| 31 | wxInternetFSHandler (a \helpref{wxFileSystem handler}{fs}). | |
| 32 | Requires wxBase. | |
| 33 | ||
| 34 | {\large {\bf wxXML}} | |
| 35 | ||
| 36 | This library contains simple classes for parsing XML documents. Note that | |
| 37 | their API {\em will} change in the future and backward | |
| 38 | compatibility will not be preserved. Use of this library in your applications | |
| 39 | is not recommended, it is only meant for use by XML resources system. Future | |
| 40 | versions of wxWindows will contain new XML handling classes with DOM-like API. | |
| 41 | Requires wxBase. | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | {\large {\bf wxODBC}} | |
| 44 | ||
| 45 | \helpref{Database classes}{odbcoverview}. Requires wxBase. | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | {\large {\bf wxCore}} | |
| 48 | ||
| 49 | Basic GUI classes such as GDI classes or controls are in this library. All | |
| 50 | wxWindows GUI applications must link against this library, only console mode | |
| 51 | applications don't. | |
| 52 | ||
| 53 | {\large {\bf wxAdvanced}} | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | More advanced or rarely used GUI classes are in this library. | |
| 56 | Requires wxCore and wxBase. | |
| 57 | ||
| 58 | {\large {\bf wxGL}} | |
| 59 | ||
| 60 | This library contains \helpref{wxGLCanvas}{wxglcanvas} class for integrating | |
| 61 | OpenGL library with wxWindows. Unlike all other, this library is {\em not} | |
| 62 | part of the monolithic library, it is always built as separate library. | |
| 63 | Requires wxCore and wxBase. | |
| 64 | ||
| 65 | {\large {\bf wxHTML}} | |
| 66 | ||
| 67 | Simple HTML renderer and other \helpref{HTML rendering classes}{wxhtml} are | |
| 68 | contained in this library, as well as | |
| 69 | \helpref{wxHtmlHelpController}{wxhtmlhelpcontroller}, | |
| 70 | \helpref{wxBestHelpController}{wxhelpcontroller} and | |
| 71 | \helpref{wxHtmlListBox}{wxhtmllistbox}. Requires wxCore and wxBase. |
