2 Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1.12
3
4you have downloaded version 2.1 of the GTK+ 1.2 port of
5the wxWindows GUI library. Although this is not yet the
6final stable release wxGTK 2.2, the current version has
7been tested carefully on many systems and has been found
8to work better than any other previous version.
9
10Nonetheless, beware that major changes can happen before
11a final release.
12
13wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
14snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
15
16Beginning with snapshot 9, wxWindows uses a completely
17new make file system on Unix which no longer uses the
18various GNU tools and I hope that I'll never again have
19to write any more makefiles.

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