Installation and release notes

Unless you installed a binary version of wxWidgets using RPMs, you will probably have to compile the wxWidgets library first. Please read the platform-specific readme.txt and install.txt for how to do this.

Further platform-specific notes:

wxWidgets manuals

To use manuals in wxHTML Help form (extension htb), you can use the HelpView application, either compiling it from utils/helpview in the distribution, or downloading a binary, for example from here.
