7wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
8snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
f6bcfd97 9GTK 1.2.6 or above is recommended although some programs
3fc6e5fa 10will work with GTK 1.2.3 onwards. There is now support
010afced 11for GTK 2.0.

19Information on how to install can be found in the file
20INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
e90196a5 21many systems:

e90196a5 23./configure --with-gtk
c67d8618 24make

30In order to use wxGTK with GTK 2.0 and its unicode
31support, you need to configure
32
33./configure --with-gtk --enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode
34etc.
35
b55a176b 36So far, support for GTK 2.0 has only been tested on
3fc6e5fa
RR
37Linux with glibc 2.2.

8710cf5c 46The library produced by the install process will be called
f6bcfd97 47libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.2.so.0.0.0 (shared) so

48that once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes
49out we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking
50problems.
