   2   Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 snapshot 8,
   3
   4 you have downloaded version 2.1 of the GTK+ 1.2 port of
   5 the wxWindows GUI library. This is a developers release
   6 and is it not suited for production development. Beware
   7 that major changes can happen before a final release.
   8
   9 Beginning with snapshot 6, wxWindows uses a completely
  10 new make file system on Unix that uses GNU automake,
  11 GNU autoconf and GNU autoheader. You do not need these
  12 programs in order to use the library, but for taking
  13 part in its development, they are required. Read the
  14 INSTALL.txt file for learning what you can do with the
  15 new configure/automake/libtool system.

  22 Windows and Motif ports in particular) can be found

  27 Information on how to install can be found in the file
  28 INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
  29 many systems (when using GTK 1.0 or when not using Linux
  30 read the INSTALL.txt):
  31
  32 ./configure
  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 lists (see
  42 my homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND
  43 YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT
  44 DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. I know
  45 this has no effect, but I tried...
  46
  47 The library produced by the install process will be called
  48 libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.so.0.0.0 (shared) so that
  49 once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes out
  50 we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking 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.

  56 wxWindows/Gtk doesn't come with any guarantee whatsoever. It might
  57 crash your harddisk or destroy your monitor. It doesn't claim to be
  58 suitable for any special or general purpose.
