-  Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 beta 1,
+   Welcome to wxWidgets 2.6 for GTK+

 
 

-you have downloaded version 2.1 of the GTK+ 1.2 port of 
-the wxWindows GUI library. This is a developers release
-and is it not suited for production development. Beware
-that major changes can happen before a final release -
-Particularly the makefile system will change entirly.
- 
-More information is available from my homepage at:
+You have downloaded version 2.6 of the GTK+ port of the 
+wxWidgets GUI library.

-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:
+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+ 2.4.x and even
+GTK 2.8.x are used.
+
+More info about the wxWidgets project (including all the
+other ports and version of wxWidgets) can be found at the
+main wxWidgets homepage at:

-all systems
+many systems:

 
 

-./configure
-make
-su <type root password>
-ldconfig

-exit
+    mkdir build_gtk
+    cd build_gtk
+    ../configure --with-gtk=2
+    make
+    su <type root password>
+    make install
+    ldconfig

 
 

-Type the following to make the samples
+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.

 
 

-make samples
+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!

 
 

-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

-we'll augment library version number to avoid linking problems.
