-wxWindows GUI library.
+You have downloaded version 2.6 of the GTK+ port of the 
+wxWidgets GUI library.
 
-wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
-snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
-GTK 1.2.6 or above is recommended although some programs 
-will work with GTK 1.2.3 onwards. There is now beta support
-for GTK 2.0.
+wxWidgets no longer supports GTK 1.0.x (as did some early
+snapshots) and support for GTK 1.2.x will be phased out
+over time. Nearly all work is now done on GTK 2.0.x and
+quite a few of the enhancements of GTK+ 2.2.x and even
+GTK 2.4.x are used.

 Information on how to install can be found in the file 
 INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
 many systems:
 
-./configure --with-gtk
-make
-su <type root password>
-make install
-ldconfig
-exit
+    mkdir build_gtk
+    cd build_gtk
+    ../configure --with-gtk=2
+    make
+    su <type root password>
+    make install
+    ldconfig
+
+In order to use wxGTK with GTK 1.2 you need to use --with-gtk=1
+configure option. To build the library in Unicode mode (all
+strings will be wide strings and so on) you need to configure
+with GTK 2.0 and add --enable-unicode.
+
+Please note that it is strongly advised to build the library in
+a separate directory, as shown above, as it allows you to have
+different builds of it (for example with and without debug) in
+parallel. If you build in the source directory, don't forget to
+do "make clean" before changing the configuration!

 follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
