   1    Welcome to wxWidgets 2.7.0 for GTK+
   2    -----------------------------------
   3
   4 You have downloaded version 2.7 of the GTK+ port of the
   5 wxWidgets GUI library.
   6
   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
  11 GTK 2.8.x are used.
  12
  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:
  16
  17                   http://www.wxwidgets.org/
  18
  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     mkdir build_gtk
  24     cd build_gtk
  25     ../configure
  26     make
  27     su <type root password>
  28     make install
  29     ldconfig
  30
  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.
  35
  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!
  41
  42
  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...
  49
  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.
  54
  55 Do NOT send any comments directly to me.

  57 wxWidgets doesn't come with any guarantee whatsoever. It
  58 might crash your harddisk or destroy your monitor. It doesn't
  59 claim to be suitable for any special or general purpose.
