2 Welcome to wxWidgets/X11 2.5.5
3
4 You have downloaded version 2.5.5 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.
9
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.

54 Some remaining issues:
55
56 - some refresh efficiency issues
57 - clipboard implementation missing
58 - drag and drop implementation missing
59 - wxX11's wxTextCtrl (separate from wxUniv version)
60 needs some work, for example to remove vertical scrollbar,
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
