   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.

  12 More information is available from my homepage at:
  13
  14   http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt
  15
  16 and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the MSW
  17 and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's
  18 homepage at:

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