| 2 | Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.5 |
| 3 | |
| 4 | You have downloaded version 2.5 of the GTK port of the |
| 5 | wxWindows GUI library. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early |
| 8 | snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it. |
| 9 | GTK 1.2.6 or above is recommended although some programs |
| 10 | will work with GTK 1.2.3 onwards. There is now support |
| 11 | for GTK 2.0. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | More info about the wxWindows project (including the |
| 14 | Windows, X11/Motif and other ports) can be found at the main |
| 15 | wxWindows homepage at: |
| 16 | |
| 17 | http://www.wxwindows.org |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Information on how to install can be found in the file |
| 20 | INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on |
| 21 | many 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 | |
| 31 | In order to use wxGTK with GTK 2.0 you need to use --enable-gtk2 |
| 32 | configure option. To build the library in Unicode mode (all |
| 33 | strings will be wide strings and so on) you need to configure |
| 34 | with GTK 2.0 and add --enable-unicode. |
| 35 | |
| 36 | Note that so far, support for GTK 2.0 has only been tested on |
| 37 | Linux with glibc 2.2. |
| 38 | |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Please note that it is strongly advised to build the library in |
| 41 | a separate directory, as shown above, as it allows you to have |
| 42 | different builds of it (for example with and without debug) in |
| 43 | parallel. If you build in the source directory, don't forget to |
| 44 | do "make clean" before changing the configuration! |
| 45 | |
| 46 | |
| 47 | When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and |
| 48 | follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success, |
| 49 | please send a bug report to one of our mailing list, INCLUDING |
| 50 | A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR |
| 51 | VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR |
| 52 | WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried... |
| 53 | |
| 54 | The library produced by the install process will be called |
| 55 | libwx_gtk.a (static, only buil if --disable-shared configure |
| 56 | switch was used or if shared libraries are not supported at all |
| 57 | on your platform which is quite unlikely) and |
| 58 | libwx_gtk-2.2.so.0.0.0 (shared) so that once a binary |
| 59 | incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes out we'll augment |
| 60 | the library version number to avoid linking problems. |
| 61 | |
| 62 | Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests, |
| 63 | bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information |
| 64 | on how to subscribe is available from my homepage. |
| 65 | |
| 66 | Do NOT send any comments directly to me. |
| 67 | |
| 68 | wxWindows/Gtk doesn't come with any guarantee whatsoever. It |
| 69 | might crash your harddisk or destroy your monitor. It doesn't |
| 70 | claim to be suitable for any special or general purpose. |
