Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.01, you have downloaded version 2.01 of the GTK+ 1.0 port of the wxWindows GUI library. More information is available from my homepage at: http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the Windows and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian Smart's homepage at: http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin Information on how to install can be found in the file INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on all systems ./configure make make install Type the following to make the samples make samples To start the samples, change into the directory that corresponds to the sample and your system, e.g on a linux-gnu machine the minimal sample would get started from the wxWindows base dir with ./samples/minimal/linux-gnu/minimal When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success, please send a bug report to one of our mailing lists (see my homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried... The library produced by the install process will be called libwx_gtk2.a (static) and libwx_gtk2.so.0.1 (shared) so that once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes out we'll augment library version number to avoid linking problems. Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests, bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users Information on how to subscribe is available from my homepage. wxWindows/Gtk doesn't come with any guarantee whatsoever. It might crash your harddisk or destroy your monitor. It doesn't claim to be suitable for any special purpose. Regards, Robert Roebling
