   2    Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1.12
   3
   4 you have downloaded version 2.1 of the GTK+ 1.2 port of
   5 the wxWindows GUI library. Although this is not yet the
   6 final stable release wxGTK 2.2, the current version has
   7 been tested carefully on many systems and has been found
   8 to work better than any other previous version.
   9
  10 Nonetheless, beware that major changes can happen before
  11 a final release.
  12
  13 wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
  14 snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
  15
  16 Beginning with snapshot 9, wxWindows uses a completely
  17 new make file system on Unix which no longer uses the
  18 various GNU tools and I hope that I'll never again have
  19 to write any more makefiles.

  31 Information on how to install can be found in the file
  32 INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
  33 many systems:
  34
  35 ./configure --with-gtk
  36 make
  37 su <type root password>
  38 make install
  39 ldconfig
  40 exit
  41
  42 When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
  43 follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
  44 please send a bug report to one of our mailing list, INCLUDING
  45 A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR
  46 VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR
  47 WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried...
  48
  49 The library produced by the install process will be called
  50 libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.so.12.0.0 (shared) so
  51 that once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes
  52 out we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking
  53 problems.
  54
  55 Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
  56 bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information
  57 on how to subscribe is available from my homepage.

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