2 Welcome to wxWindows/X11 2.3.4
3
4You have downloaded version 2.3.4 of the X11 port of
5the wxWindows GUI library. This runs on X11 with no
6Motif, Xt, GTK+ or any other standard widget set --
7instead it uses the wxUniversal widgets. The intention
8is to have it run on NanoX as well as desktop X11.

10More information about the wxWindows project as a whole
11can be found at:
12
13 http://www.wxwindows.org
14
15Information on how to install can be found in the file
16install.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
17many systems:
18
19./configure --with-x11 --disable-shared --enable-log --enable-debug -without-odbc --enable-debug_cntxt
20
21make
22su <type root password>
23make install
24ldconfig
25exit
26
27When you run into problems, please read the install.txt and
28follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
29please send a bug report to one of our mailing lists (see
30the wxWindows homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND
31YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF X, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE
32AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. Alternatively, you may also use the bug
33reporting system linked from the wxWindows web page.
34
35The library produced by the install process will be called
36libwx_x11univ[d].a (static) and libwx_x11univ[d]-2.3.so.0.0.0
37(shared) so that once a binary incompatible version of
38wxWindows/X11 comes out we'll augment the library version number
39to avoid linking problems.
40
41Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
42bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information
43on how to subscribe is available from www.wxwindows.org.
