2 | Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1.12 | |
3 | ||
4 | you have downloaded version 2.1 of the GTK+ 1.2 port of | |
5 | the wxWindows GUI library. Although this is not yet the | |
6 | final stable release wxGTK 2.2, the current version has | |
7 | been tested carefully on many systems and has been found | |
8 | to work better than any other previous version. | |
9 | ||
10 | Nonetheless, beware that major changes can happen before | |
11 | a final release. | |
12 | ||
13 | wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early | |
14 | snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it. | |
15 | ||
16 | Beginning with snapshot 9, wxWindows uses a completely | |
17 | new make file system on Unix which no longer uses the | |
18 | various GNU tools and I hope that I'll never again have | |
19 | to write any more makefiles. | |
20 | ||
21 | More information is available from my homepage at: | |
22 | ||
23 | http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt | |
24 | ||
25 | and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the MSW | |
26 | and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's | |
27 | homepage at: | |

30 | ||
31 | Information on how to install can be found in the file | |
32 | INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on | |
33 | many systems: | |
34 | ||
35 | ./configure --with-gtk | |
36 | make | |
37 | su <type root password> | |
38 | make install | |
39 | ldconfig | |
40 | exit | |
41 | ||
42 | When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and | |
43 | follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success, | |
44 | please send a bug report to one of our mailing list, INCLUDING | |
45 | A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR | |
46 | VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR | |
47 | WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried... | |
48 | ||
49 | The library produced by the install process will be called | |
50 | libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.so.12.0.0 (shared) so | |
51 | that once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes | |
52 | out we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking | |
53 | problems. | |
54 | ||
55 | Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests, | |
56 | bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information | |
57 | on how to subscribe is available from my homepage. | |

59 | wxWindows/Gtk doesn't come with any guarantee whatsoever. It | |
60 | might crash your harddisk or destroy your monitor. It doesn't | |
61 | claim to be suitable for any special or general purpose. | |
