1 Welcome to wxWidgets Configuration Tool!
2 =============================================
3
4 wxWidgets Configuration Tool is a tool for
5 helping to configure wxWidgets.

7 For further information, please see the manual, and the
8 following site:

12 ------------------------------------------------------
13 Installing wxWidgets Configuration Tool on Windows
14 ------------------------------------------------------
15
16 Run wxconfigtool-x.yz-setup.exe and follow the instructions
17 to install wxWidgets Configuration Tool.
18
19 You should find a shortcut on your desktop, and you can
20 also find it in a group similar to this:
21
22 Start -> Program Files -> wxWidgets Configuration Tool x.y
23
24 ------------------------------------------------------
25 Installing wxWidgets Configuration Tool on Unix
26 ------------------------------------------------------
27
28 Unarchive wxconfigtool-x.yz.tar.gz to a suitable location
29 in your filesystem. A directory of the form wxconfigtool-x.yz
30 (where x.yz is the version number) will be created.
31
32 Add the location to your PATH and run the application with
33 'wxconfigtool'. You may wish to set the environment variable
34 WXCONFIGTOOLDIR so that wxWidgets Configuration Tool can find its data files.
35
36 For example:
37
38 % cd ~
39 % tar xvfz wxconfigtool-1.01.tar.gz
40 % export WXCONFIGTOOLDIR=`pwd`/wxconfigtool-1.01
41 % export PATH=$PATH:$WXCONFIGTOOLDIR
42 % wxconfigtool
43
44 If you don't want to change your PATH, you could place a
45 script in a location already on your PATH, such as
46 /usr/local/bin. For example:
47
48 #!/bin/sh
49 # Invokes wxWidgets Configuration Tool
50 export WXCONFIGTOOLDIR=/home/mydir/wxconfigtool-1.01
51 $WXCONFIGTOOLDIR/wxconfigtool $*
52
53 If you wish to associate the wxWidgets Configuration Tool file extension
54 (pjd) with wxWidgets Configuration Tool, you will need to edit your
55 ~/.mailcap file (or create one if it doesn't exist)
56 and add an entry similar to this:
57
58 application/wxconfigtool; wxconfigtool %s
59
60 and add this ~/.mime.types:
61
62 type=application/wxconfigtool \
63 desc="wxWidgets Configuration Tool Document" \
64 exts="pjd"
