2 Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 snapshot 7,
3
4you have downloaded version 2.1 of the GTK+ 1.2 port of
5the wxWindows GUI library. This is a developers release
6and is it not suited for production development. Beware
7that major changes can happen before a final release.
8
9Beginning with snapshot 6, wxWindows uses a completely
10new make file system on Unix that uses GNU automake,
11GNU autoconf and GNU autoheader. You do not need these
12programs in order to use the library, but for taking
13part in its development, they are required. Read the
14INSTALL.txt file for learning what you can do with the
15new configure/automake/libtool system.

27Information on how to install can be found in the file
28INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
29many systems (when using GTK 1.0 read the INSTALL.txt):
30
31./configure
32make
33su <type root password>
34make install
35ldconfig
36exit
37
38When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
39follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
40please send a bug report to one of our mailing lists (see
41my homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND
42YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT
43DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. I know
44this has no effect, but I tried...
45
46The library produced by the install process will be called
47libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.so.0.0.0 (shared) so that
48once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes out
49we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking problems.
50
51Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
52bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information
53on how to subscribe is available from my homepage.
