| c140b7e7 | 2 | Welcome to wxWindows/X11 2.5.1 |
| 1cf13934 | 3 | |
| c140b7e7 | 4 | You have downloaded version 2.5.1 of the X11 port of |
| 1cf13934 JS |
5 | the wxWindows GUI library. This runs on X11 with no |
| 6 | Motif, Xt, GTK+ or any other standard widget set -- | |
| 7 | instead it uses the wxUniversal widgets. The intention | |
| 8 | is to have it run on NanoX as well as desktop X11. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | More information about the wxWindows project as a whole | |
| 11 | can be found at: | |
| 12 | ||
| 13 | http://www.wxwindows.org | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | Information on how to install can be found in the file | |
| 16 | install.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on | |
| 17 | many systems: | |
| 18 | ||
| b55a176b | 19 | ./configure --with-x11 --disable-shared --enable-log --enable-debug -without-odbc --enable-debug_cntxt |

| 1cf13934 JS |
21 | make |
| 22 | su <type root password> | |
| 23 | make install | |
| 24 | ldconfig | |
| 25 | exit | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | When you run into problems, please read the install.txt and | |
| 28 | follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success, | |
| 29 | please send a bug report to one of our mailing lists (see | |
| 30 | the wxWindows homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND | |
| b55a176b JS |
31 | YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF X, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE |
| 32 | AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. Alternatively, you may also use the bug | |
| 33 | reporting system linked from the wxWindows web page. | |
| 1cf13934 JS |
34 | |
| 35 | The library produced by the install process will be called | |
| 868741e9 JS |
36 | libwx_x11univ[d].a (static) and libwx_x11univ[d]-2.3.so.0.0.0 |
| 37 | (shared) so that once a binary incompatible version of | |
| 38 | wxWindows/X11 comes out we'll augment the library version number | |
| 39 | to avoid linking problems. | |
| 1cf13934 JS |
40 | |
| 41 | Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests, | |
| 42 | bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information | |
| 43 | on how to subscribe is available from www.wxwindows.org. | |
