2 Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1.11
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.
10 Nonetheless, beware that major changes can happen before
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.
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.
21 More information is available from my homepage at:
23 http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt
25 and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the MSW
26 and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's
29 http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin
31 Information on how to install can be found in the file
32 INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
35 ./configure --with-gtk
37 su <type root password>
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 lists (see
45 my homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND
46 YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT
47 DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. I know
48 this has no effect, but I tried...
50 The library produced by the install process will be called
51 libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.so.0.0.0 (shared) so that
52 once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes out
53 we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking problems.
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.
