2 Welcome to wxWindows/X11 2.3.3
3
4 You have downloaded version 2.3.3 of the X11 port of
5 the wxWindows 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.

10 More information about the wxWindows project as a whole
11 can be found at:
12
13 http://www.wxwindows.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 --with-x11 --with-debug_flag --enable-log --with-debug_info --enable-debug --without-threads --without-sockets -without-odbc -with-libjpeg --enable-debug_cntxt --disable-no_rtti"
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 wxWindows homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND
31 YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF MOTIF, WXMOTIF, WHAT
32 DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED.
33 Alternatively, you may also use the bug reporting system
34 linked from the wxWindows web page.
35
36 The library produced by the install process will be called
37 libwx_x11univ[d].a (static) and libwx_x11univ[d]-2.3.so.0.0.0
38 (shared) so that once a binary incompatible version of
39 wxWindows/X11 comes out we'll augment the library version number
40 to avoid linking problems.
41
42 Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
43 bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information
44 on how to subscribe is available from www.wxwindows.org.

46 wxWindows/X11 doesn't come with any guarantee whatsoever. It might
47 crash your hard disk or destroy your monitor. It doesn't claim to be
48 suitable for any special or general purpose.

55 Some remaining issues:
56
57 - some refresh efficiency issues
58 - clipboard implementation missing
59 - drag and drop implementation missing
60 - wxX11's wxTextCtrl (separate from wxUniv version)
61 needs some work, for example to remove vertical scrollbar,
62 and to provide wordwrap
63 - wxToggleButton implementation missing
64 - wxSpinCtrl implementation missing
65 - tooltips implementation missing
66 - code common to the Motif and X11 ports needs to be
