| | 1 | Welcome to wxWidgets for GTK+ |
| | 2 | ----------------------------- |
| | 3 | |
| | 4 | You have downloaded the GTK+ port of the wxWidgets GUI library. |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | It is recommended to use at least GTK+ 2.2.3 to get the |
| | 7 | most out of wxWidgets and some features are only available |
| | 8 | when using GTK+ 2.4 or even from GTK+ 2.8. Note that if you |
| | 9 | compile wxWidgets against GTK+ 2.8 your app will still work |
| | 10 | with older GTK+ version down to version 2.2 as wxWidgets |
| | 11 | tests for the presence of newer features at run-time and it |
| | 12 | will fall back to a generic implementation if these features |
| | 13 | are not present in the GTK+ version used. |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | wxWidgets 2.8 still supports GTK+ 1.2, but no developement |
| | 16 | is done on that port anymore and support for GTK+ 1.2 will |
| | 17 | probably be dropped entirely. Indeed, one of the major steps |
| | 18 | in the developement cycle leading up to wxWidgets 2.8 was |
| | 19 | that the codebase for GTK+ 1.2 and GTK+ 2.0 were separated |
| | 20 | so that improvements and clean-ups to the GTK+ 2.0 port |
| | 21 | could be done without caring for GTK+ 1.2. |
| | 22 | |
| | 23 | More info about the wxWidgets project (including all the |
| | 24 | other ports and version of wxWidgets) can be found at the |
| | 25 | main wxWidgets homepage at: |
| | 26 | |
| | 27 | http://www.wxwidgets.org/ |
| | 28 | |
| | 29 | Information on how to install can be found in the file |
| | 30 | INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on |
| | 31 | many systems: |
| | 32 | |
| | 33 | mkdir build_gtk |
| | 34 | cd build_gtk |
| | 35 | ../configure |
| | 36 | make |
| | 37 | su <type root password> |
| | 38 | make install |
| | 39 | ldconfig |
| | 40 | |
| | 41 | In order to use wxGTK with GTK 1.2 you need to use --with-gtk=1 |
| | 42 | configure option. To build the library in Unicode mode (all |
| | 43 | strings will be wide strings and so on) you need to configure |
| | 44 | with GTK 2.0 and add --enable-unicode. |
| | 45 | |
| | 46 | Please note that it is strongly advised to build the library in |
| | 47 | a separate directory, as shown above, as it allows you to have |
| | 48 | different builds of it (for example with and without debug) in |
| | 49 | parallel. If you build in the source directory, don't forget to |
| | 50 | do "make clean" before changing the configuration! |
| | 51 | |
| | 52 | When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and |
| | 53 | follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success, |
| | 54 | please send a bug report to one of our mailing list, INCLUDING |
| | 55 | A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR |
| | 56 | VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR |
| | 57 | WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried... |
| | 58 | |
| | 59 | Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests, |
| | 60 | bug reports or comments to the wxWidgets users list. These can |
| | 61 | be found at http://www.wxwidgets.org and more specifically at |
| | 62 | http://lists.wxwidgets.org. |
