   2    Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1.13
   3
   4 you have downloaded a beta version of the GTK+ 1.2 port of
   5 the wxWindows GUI library. Although this is not yet the
   6 final stable release wxGTK 2.2, the current version has
   7 been tested carefully on many systems and has been found
   8 to work better than any other previous version.
   9
  10 Nonetheless, beware that minor changes can happen before
  11 a final release.
  12
  13 wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
  14 snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
  15 GTK 1.2.6 is recommended although many programs will work
  16 with GTK 1.2.3 onwards.

  28 Information on how to install can be found in the file
  29 INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
  30 many systems:
  31
  32 ./configure --with-gtk
  33 make
  34 su <type root password>
  35 make install
  36 ldconfig
  37 exit
  38
  39 When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
  40 follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
  41 please send a bug report to one of our mailing list, INCLUDING
  42 A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR
  43 VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR
  44 WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried...
  45
  46 The library produced by the install process will be called
  47 libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.so.13.0.0 (shared) so
  48 that once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes
  49 out we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking
  50 problems.
  51
  52 Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
  53 bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information
  54 on how to subscribe is available from my homepage.
  55
  56 Do NOT send any comments directly to me.
  57
  58 wxWindows/Gtk doesn't come with any guarantee whatsoever. It
  59 might crash your harddisk or destroy your monitor. It doesn't
  60 claim to be suitable for any special or general purpose.
