2 Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 snapshot 6,
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.
9 Beginning from 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.
15 More information is available from my homepage at:
17 http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt
19 and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the
20 Windows and Motif ports in particular) can be found
21 at Julian Smart's homepage at:
23 http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin
25 Information on how to install can be found in the file
26 INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
27 many systems (when using GTK 1.0 read the INSTALL.txt):
31 su <type root password>
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...
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.
49 Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
50 bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users Information on
51 how to subscribe is available from my homepage.
