| 35 | wxWindows 2 for GTK is a port of wxWindows to the <a href="http://www.gimp.org/gtk" target=_top>GTK+ toolkit</a>, | |
| 36 | which is freely available for most flavours of Unix with X. wxWindows 2 for GTK is | |
| 37 | often abbreviated to wxGTK. wxGTK has a separate home page <a href="http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~wxxt" target=_top>here</a>. | |

| ce3ed50d JS |
41 | |
| 42 | Currently wxGTK does not have any features that would involve dependence on any desktop | |
| 8b283bb8 | 43 | environment's libraries, so it can work on GNOME, KDE and with other window managers |
| ce3ed50d JS |
44 | without installation hassles. Some GNOME and KDE integration features are file based, and |
| 45 | so may be added without dependence on libraries. Other features may be supported in the | |
| 46 | future, probably as a separate library. | |
| 47 | <P> | |

49 | <h3><a name="redhat">Warning about GTK libraries supplied with RedHat</a></h3> |
| 50 | ||
| 51 | It seems that some versions of RedHat include a badly patched version of GTK (not wxGTK) | |
| 52 | which causes some trouble with wxWindows' socket code. Common symptoms are that when | |
| 53 | a client tries to establish a connection to an existing server which refuses the request, | |
| 54 | the client will get notified twice, first getting a LOST event and then a CONNECT event. | |
| 55 | This problem can be solved by updating GTK with an official distribution of the library. | |
| 56 | <P> | |

| 62 | "The important thing is the libc version that your app | |
| 63 | is linked against. The most recent version is 2.2.5 | |
| 64 | and programs linked against it will not run with version | |
| 65 | 2.1.X so that you will fare best if you compile your app | |
| 66 | on a 2.1.X system. It will then run on practically all | |
| 67 | Linux distros (if you link you app statically against | |
| 68 | the image libraries and std C++ lib)." | |
