   2   Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 snapshot 9,
   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 9, wxWindows uses a completely
  10 new make file system on Unix which no longer uses the
  11 various GNU tools and I hope that I'll never again have
  12 to write any more makefiles.

  14 More information is available from my homepage at:

  18 and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the
  19 Windows and Motif ports in particular) can be found

  24 Information on how to install can be found in the file
  25 INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
  26 many systems (when using GTK 1.0 or when not using Linux
  27 read the INSTALL.txt):
  28
  29 ./configure
  30 make
  31 su <type root password>
  32 make install
  33 ldconfig
  34 exit
  35
  36 When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
  37 follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
  38 please send a bug report to one of our mailing lists (see
  39 my homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND
  40 YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT
  41 DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. I know
  42 this has no effect, but I tried...
  43
  44 The library produced by the install process will be called
  45 libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.so.0.0.0 (shared) so that
  46 once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes out
  47 we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking problems.
  48
  49 Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
  50 bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information
  51 on how to subscribe is available from my homepage.

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