   2    Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.4
   3
   4 you have downloaded version 2.4 of the GTK port of the
   5 wxWindows GUI library.
   6
   7 wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
   8 snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
   9 GTK 1.2.6 or above is recommended although some programs
  10 will work with GTK 1.2.3 onwards. There is now support
  11 for GTK 2.0.
  12
  13 More info about the wxWindows project (and the Windows
  14 and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's
  15 homepage at:
  16
  17   http://www.wxwindows.org

  19 Information on how to install can be found in the file
  20 INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
  21 many systems:
  22
  23 ./configure --with-gtk
  24 make
  25 su <type root password>
  26 make install
  27 ldconfig
  28 exit
  29
  30 In order to use wxGTK with GTK 2.0 and its unicode
  31 support, you need to configure
  32
  33 ./configure --with-gtk --enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode
  34 etc.
  35
  36 So far, support for GTK 2.0 has only been tested on
  37 Linux with glibc 2.2.
  38
  39 When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
  40 follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
  41 please send a bug report to one of our mailing list, INCLUDING
  42 A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR
  43 VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR
  44 WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried...
  45
  46 The library produced by the install process will be called
  47 libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.2.so.0.0.0 (shared) so
  48 that once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes
  49 out we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking
  50 problems.
  51
  52 Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
  53 bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information
  54 on how to subscribe is available from my homepage.
  55
  56 Do NOT send any comments directly to me.
  57
  58 wxWindows/Gtk doesn't come with any guarantee whatsoever. It
  59 might crash your harddisk or destroy your monitor. It doesn't
  60 claim to be suitable for any special or general purpose.
