   2   Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 snapshot 6,
   3
   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.
   8
   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. Read the
  14 INSTALL.txt file for learning what you can do with it.

  21 Windows and Motif ports in particular) can be found

  26 Information on how to install can be found in the file
  27 INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
  28 many systems (when using GTK 1.0 read the INSTALL.txt):
  29
  30 ./configure
  31 make
  32 su <type root password>
  33 make install
  34 ldconfig
  35 exit
  36
  37 When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
  38 follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
  39 please send a bug report to one of our mailing lists (see
  40 my homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND
  41 YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT
  42 DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. I know
  43 this has no effect, but I tried...
  44
  45 The library produced by the install process will be called
  46 libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.so.0.0.0 (shared) so that
  47 once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes out
  48 we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking problems.
  49
  50 Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
  51 bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users Information on
  52 how to subscribe is available from my homepage.

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