| b45ab290 | 1 | Welcome to wxWidgets 2.8.0 for GTK+ |
| 50c80a59 | 2 | ----------------------------------- |
| c67d8618 | 3 | |
| b45ab290 | 4 | You have downloaded version 2.8 of the GTK+ port of the |
| fc2171bd | 5 | wxWidgets GUI library. |
| e90196a5 | 6 | |
| c28cb884 RR |
7 | wxWidgets no longer supports GTK 1.0.x (as did some early |
| 8 | snapshots) and support for GTK 1.2.x will be phased out | |
| 9 | over time. Nearly all work is now done on GTK 2.0.x and | |
| 8de699dc MR |
10 | quite a few of the enhancements of GTK+ 2.4.x and even |
| 11 | GTK 2.8.x are used. | |

13 | More info about the wxWidgets project (including all the |
| 14 | other ports and version of wxWidgets) can be found at the | |
| 15 | main wxWidgets homepage at: | |

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

23 | mkdir build_gtk |
| 24 | cd build_gtk | |
| 50c80a59 | 25 | ../configure |
| 7ce4426a VZ |
26 | make |
| 27 | su <type root password> | |
| 28 | make install | |
| 29 | ldconfig | |
| 8710cf5c | 30 | |
| 7a1f2d57 | 31 | In order to use wxGTK with GTK 1.2 you need to use --with-gtk=1 |
| 7ce4426a VZ |
32 | configure option. To build the library in Unicode mode (all |
| 33 | strings will be wide strings and so on) you need to configure | |
| 7a1f2d57 | 34 | with GTK 2.0 and add --enable-unicode. |
| 3fc6e5fa | 35 | |
| 7ce4426a VZ |
36 | Please note that it is strongly advised to build the library in |
| 37 | a separate directory, as shown above, as it allows you to have | |
| 38 | different builds of it (for example with and without debug) in | |
| 39 | parallel. If you build in the source directory, don't forget to | |
| 40 | do "make clean" before changing the configuration! | |
