   2   Welcome to wxWidgets/X11 2.5.2
   3
   4 You have downloaded version 2.5.2 of the X11 port of
   5 the wxWidgets GUI library. This runs on X11 with no
   6 Motif, Xt, GTK+ or any other standard widget set --
   7 instead it uses the wxUniversal widgets. The intention
   8 is to have it run on NanoX as well as desktop X11.

  10 More information about the wxWidgets project as a whole
  11 can be found at:
  12
  13   http://www.wxwidgets.org
  14
  15 Information on how to install can be found in the file
  16 install.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
  17 many systems:
  18
  19 ./configure --with-x11 --disable-shared --enable-log --enable-debug -without-odbc --enable-debug_cntxt
  20
  21 make
  22 su <type root password>
  23 make install
  24 ldconfig
  25 exit
  26
  27 When you run into problems, please read the install.txt and
  28 follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
  29 please send a bug report to one of our mailing lists (see
  30 the wxWidgets homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND
  31 YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF X, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE
  32 AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. Alternatively, you may also use the bug
  33 reporting system linked from the wxWidgets web page.
  34
  35 The library produced by the install process will be called
  36 libwx_x11univ[d].a (static) and libwx_x11univ[d]-2.3.so.0.0.0
  37 (shared) so that once a binary incompatible version of
  38 wxWidgets/X11 comes out we'll augment the library version number
  39 to avoid linking problems.
  40
  41 Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
  42 bug reports or comments to the wxWidgets users list. Information
  43 on how to subscribe is available from www.wxwidgets.org.

  45 wxWidgets/X11 doesn't come with any guarantee whatsoever. It might
  46 crash your hard disk or destroy your monitor. It doesn't claim to be
  47 suitable for any special or general purpose.

  58 - drag and drop implementation missing
  59 - wxX11's wxTextCtrl (separate from wxUniv version)

  61   and to provide wordwrap
  62 - wxToggleButton implementation missing
  63 - wxSpinCtrl implementation missing
  64 - tooltips implementation missing
  65 - code common to the Motif and X11 ports needs to be merged
