2 | Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 snapshot 7, | |
3 | ||
4 | you have downloaded version 2.1 of the GTK+ 1.2 port of | |
5 | the wxWindows GUI library. This is a developers release | |
6 | and is it not suited for production development. Beware | |
7 | that major changes can happen before a final release. | |
8 | ||
9 | Beginning with snapshot 6, wxWindows uses a completely | |
10 | new make file system on Unix that uses GNU automake, | |
11 | GNU autoconf and GNU autoheader. You do not need these | |
12 | programs in order to use the library, but for taking | |
13 | part in its development, they are required. Read the | |
14 | INSTALL.txt file for learning what you can do with the | |
15 | new configure/automake/libtool system. | |
16 | ||
17 | More information is available from my homepage at: | |
18 | ||
19 | http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt | |
20 | ||
21 | and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the | |
22 | Windows and Motif ports in particular) can be found | |
23 | at Julian Smart's homepage at: | |

26 | ||
27 | Information on how to install can be found in the file | |
28 | INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on | |
29 | many systems (when using GTK 1.0 read the INSTALL.txt): | |
30 | ||
31 | ./configure | |
32 | make | |
33 | su <type root password> | |
34 | make install | |
35 | ldconfig | |
36 | exit | |
37 | ||
38 | When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and | |
39 | follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success, | |
40 | please send a bug report to one of our mailing lists (see | |
41 | my homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND | |
42 | YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT | |
43 | DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. I know | |
44 | this has no effect, but I tried... | |
45 | ||
46 | The library produced by the install process will be called | |
47 | libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.so.0.0.0 (shared) so that | |
48 | once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes out | |
49 | we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking problems. | |
50 | ||
51 | Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests, | |
52 | bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information | |
53 | on how to subscribe is available from my homepage. | |
54 | ||
55 | wxWindows/Gtk doesn't come with any guarantee whatsoever. It might | |
56 | crash your harddisk or destroy your monitor. It doesn't claim to be | |
57 | suitable for any special or general purpose. | |
