2 Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.5
3
4You have downloaded version 2.5 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 (including the
14Windows, X11/Motif and other ports) can be found at the main
15wxWindows homepage at:
16
17 http://www.wxwindows.org
18
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 mkdir gtk
24 cd gtk
25 ../configure --with-gtk
26 make
27 su <type root password>
28 make install
29 ldconfig
30
31In order to use wxGTK with GTK 2.0 you need to use --enable-gtk2
32configure option. To build the library in Unicode mode (all
33strings will be wide strings and so on) you need to configure
34with GTK 2.0 and add --enable-unicode.
35
36Note that so far, support for GTK 2.0 has only been tested on
37Linux with glibc 2.2.
38
39
40Please note that it is strongly advised to build the library in
41a separate directory, as shown above, as it allows you to have
42different builds of it (for example with and without debug) in
43parallel. If you build in the source directory, don't forget to
44do "make clean" before changing the configuration!

47When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
48follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
49please send a bug report to one of our mailing list, INCLUDING
50A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR
51VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR
52WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried...
53
54The library produced by the install process will be called
55libwx_gtk.a (static, only buil if --disable-shared configure
56switch was used or if shared libraries are not supported at all
57on your platform which is quite unlikely) and
58libwx_gtk-2.2.so.0.0.0 (shared) so that once a binary
59incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes out we'll augment
60the library version number to avoid linking problems.
61
62Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
63bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information
64on how to subscribe is available from my homepage.
65
66Do NOT send any comments directly to me.

69might crash your harddisk or destroy your monitor. It doesn't
