	35
	36	<p>Unless you installed a binary version of wxWidgets (e.g. under Linux
	37	using your distro's package manager), you will probably have to
	38	<strong>compile</strong> the wxWidgets library before you can start use
	39	it.</p>
	40	<p>Please read the platform-specific <tt>readme.txt</tt> and
	41	<tt>install.txt</tt> for how to do this:</p>
