2 Welcome to wxWidgets 2.6 for GTK+
4 You have downloaded version 2.6 of the GTK+ port of the
7 wxWidgets no longer supports GTK 1.0.x (as did some early
8 snapshots) and support for GTK 1.2.x will be phased out
9 over time. Nearly all work is now done on GTK 2.0.x and
10 quite a few of the enhancements of GTK+ 2.4.x and even
13 More info about the wxWidgets project (including all the
14 other ports and version of wxWidgets) can be found at the
15 main wxWidgets homepage at:
17 http://www.wxwidgets.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
25 ../configure --with-gtk=2
27 su <type root password>
31 In order to use wxGTK with GTK 1.2 you need to use --with-gtk=1
32 configure option. To build the library in Unicode mode (all
33 strings will be wide strings and so on) you need to configure
34 with GTK 2.0 and add --enable-unicode.
36 Please note that it is strongly advised to build the library in
37 a separate directory, as shown above, as it allows you to have
38 different builds of it (for example with and without debug) in
39 parallel. If you build in the source directory, don't forget to
40 do "make clean" before changing the configuration!
43 When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
44 follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
45 please send a bug report to one of our mailing list, INCLUDING
46 A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR
47 VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR
48 WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried...
50 Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
51 bug reports or comments to the wxWidgets users list. These can
52 be found at http://www.wxwidgets.org and more specifically at
53 http://lists.wxwidgets.org.
55 Do NOT send any comments directly to me.
