| 2 | Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.3 |
| 3 | |
| 4 | you have downloaded version 2.3 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 beta support |
| 11 | for GTK 2.0. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | More info about the wxWindows project (and the Windows |
| 14 | and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's |
| 15 | 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 | ./configure --with-gtk |
| 24 | make |
| 25 | su <type root password> |
| 26 | make install |
| 27 | ldconfig |
| 28 | exit |
| 29 | |
| 30 | When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and |
| 31 | follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success, |
| 32 | please send a bug report to one of our mailing list, INCLUDING |
| 33 | A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR |
| 34 | VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR |
| 35 | WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried... |
| 36 | |
| 37 | The library produced by the install process will be called |
| 38 | libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.2.so.0.0.0 (shared) so |
| 39 | that once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes |
| 40 | out we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking |
| 41 | problems. |
| 42 | |
| 43 | Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests, |
| 44 | bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information |
| 45 | on how to subscribe is available from my homepage. |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Do NOT send any comments directly to me. |
| 48 | |
| 49 | wxWindows/Gtk doesn't come with any guarantee whatsoever. It |
| 50 | might crash your harddisk or destroy your monitor. It doesn't |
| 51 | claim to be suitable for any special or general purpose. |
