2 Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 snapshot 5,
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 -
8Particularly the makefile system will change entirly.

14and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the
15Windows and Motif ports in particular) can be found

20Information on how to install can be found in the file
21INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
22many systems (when using GTK 1.0 read the INSTALL.txt):
23
24./configure
25make
26su <type root password>
27make install
28ldconfig
29exit
30
31Type the following to make the samples
32
33make samples
34
35To start the samples, change into the directory that
36corresponds to the sample and your system, e.g on a
37linux-gnu machine the minimal sample would get started
38from the wxWindows base dir with
39
40./samples/minimal/linux-gnu/minimal
41
42When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
43follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
44please send a bug report to one of our mailing lists (see
45my homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND
46YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT
47DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. I know
48this has no effect, but I tried...
49
50The library produced by the install process will be called
51libwx_gtk2.a (static) and libwx_gtk2.so.1.0 (shared) so that
52once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes out
53we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking problems.
54
55Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
56bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users Information on
57how to subscribe is available from my homepage.
