2 Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.3
3
4you have downloaded version 2.3 of the GTK port of the
5wxWindows GUI library.
6
7wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
8snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
9GTK 1.2.6 or above is recommended although some programs
10will work with GTK 1.2.3 onwards. There is now support
11for GTK 2.0.
12
13More info about the wxWindows project (and the Windows
14and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's
15homepage at:

17 http://www.wxwindows.org

19Information on how to install can be found in the file
20INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
21many systems:
22
23./configure --with-gtk
24make
25su <type root password>
26make install
27ldconfig
28exit
29
30In order to use wxGTK with GTK 2.0 and its unicode
31support, you need to configure
32
33./configure --with-gtk --enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode
34etc.
35
36Sofar, support for GTK 2.0 has only been tested on
37Linux with glibc 2.2.

39When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
40follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
41please send a bug report to one of our mailing list, INCLUDING
42A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR
43VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR
44WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried...
45
46The library produced by the install process will be called
47libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.2.so.0.0.0 (shared) so
48that once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes
49out we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking
50problems.
51
52Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
53bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information
54on how to subscribe is available from my homepage.
55
56Do NOT send any comments directly to me.
