| 2 | Welcome to wxWidgets/X11 2.7.0 |
| 3 | |
| 4 | You have downloaded version 2.7.0 of the X11 port of |
| 5 | the wxWidgets 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 wxWidgets project as a whole |
| 11 | can be found at: |
| 12 | |
| 13 | http://www.wxwidgets.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 | |
| 19 | ./configure --with-x11 --disable-shared --enable-log --enable-debug -without-odbc --enable-debug_cntxt |
| 20 | |
| 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 wxWidgets homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND |
| 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 wxWidgets web page. |
| 34 | |
| 35 | The library produced by the install process will be called |
| 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 | wxWidgets/X11 comes out we'll augment the library version number |
| 39 | to avoid linking problems. |
| 40 | |
| 41 | Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests, |
| 42 | bug reports or comments to the wxWidgets users list. Information |
| 43 | on how to subscribe is available from www.wxwidgets.org. |
| 44 | |
| 45 | wxWidgets/X11 doesn't come with any guarantee whatsoever. It might |
| 46 | crash your hard disk or destroy your monitor. It doesn't claim to be |

| 49 | Status |
| 50 | ====== |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Many of the samples are running. |
| 53 | |
| 54 | Some remaining issues: |
| 55 | |
| 56 | - some refresh efficiency issues |
| 57 | - clipboard implementation missing |
| 58 | - drag and drop implementation missing |
| 59 | - wxX11's wxTextCtrl (separate from wxUniv version) |
| 60 | needs some work, for example to remove vertical scrollbar, |
| 61 | and to provide wordwrap |
| 62 | - wxToggleButton implementation missing |
| 63 | - wxSpinCtrl implementation missing |
| 64 | - tooltips implementation missing |
| 65 | - code common to the Motif and X11 ports needs to be merged |
| 66 | - need thread safety in event loop |
