11@page page_libs Library List
12
13wxWidgets can be built either as a single large library (this is called a
14<em>monolithic build</em>) or as several smaller libraries
15(<em>multilib build</em>). Multilib build is the default.
16
17wxWidgets library is divided into libraries briefly described below. This
18diagram shows the dependencies between them:

59Please note that arrows indicate the "depends from" relation and that all blue
60libraries depend on the @ref page_libs_wxbase library (i.e. they are non-GUI
61libraries), and all green libraries depend on the @ref page_libs_wxcore library
62(i.e. they are GUI libraries).
63
64
65@section page_libs_wxbase wxBase
66
67Every wxWidgets application must link against this library. It contains
68mandatory classes that any wxWidgets code depends on (e.g. wxString) and
69portability classes that abstract differences between platforms. wxBase can be
70used to develop console mode applications, it does not require any GUI
71libraries or running X Window System on Unix.
72
73
74@section page_libs_wxcore wxCore
75
76Basic GUI classes such as GDI classes or controls are in this library. All
77wxWidgets GUI applications must link against this library, only console mode
78applications don't.
79
80Requires @ref page_libs_wxbase.
81
82
83@section page_libs_wxaui wxAui
84
85This contains the Advanced User Interface docking library.
86
87Requires @ref page_libs_wxadv, @ref page_libs_wxhtml, @ref page_libs_wxxml,

89
90
91@section page_libs_wxnet wxNet
92
93Classes for network access:
94
95@li wxSocket classes (wxSocketClient, wxSocketServer and related classes)
96@li wxSocketOutputStream and wxSocketInputStream
97@li sockets-based IPC classes (wxTCPServer, wxTCPClient and wxTCPConnection)
98@li wxURL
99@li wxInternetFSHandler (a wxFileSystem handler)
100
101Requires @ref page_libs_wxbase.
102

104@section page_libs_wxpropgrid wxPropertyGrid
105
106This contains the wxPropertyGrid control.
107
108Requires @ref page_libs_wxadv, @ref page_libs_wxcore, @ref page_libs_wxbase.
109
110
111@section page_libs_wxrichtext wxRichText
112
113This contains generic rich text control functionality.
114
115Requires @ref page_libs_wxadv, @ref page_libs_wxhtml, @ref page_libs_wxxml,
