for a wxGTK distribution. Note that the same instructions should be used for
the other Unix-based ports including wxMotif, wxX11 and wxBase.
+See distrib/msw/makerpm for a script that embodies some of the steps
+below.

1. Preparing the sources
------------------------
a) Do a fresh checkout using the command
- cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.wxwindows.org:/packs/cvsroots/wxwindows co wxGTK
+ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.wxwidgets.org:/packs/cvsroots/wxwidgets co wxGTK
NB: if you realize later that some needed files were not checked out
by this command, please modify CVSROOT/modules to include the missing
files so that it works for the next release!
You also need the samples, demos and contrib directories, so change to
- wxWindows directory created by the first cvs command and do "cvs up -d"
+ wxWidgets directory created by the first cvs command and do "cvs up -d"
for each of them.
-b) Create a build directory under wxWindows, e.g. I use "gtk-release",
+b) Create a build directory under wxWidgets, e.g. I use "gtk-release",
"cd" to it and run configure: the options don't really matter, you can use
something like
RPMS/i386/wxGTK-gl-${version}-1.i386.rpm
RPMS/i386/wxGTK-static-${version}-1.i386.rpm
+ Use "rpm -ba --with gtk2" to build GTK+2 version of wxGTK and use
+ "rpm -ba --with gtk2 --with unicode" to build GTK+2 Unicode build.
Note: you may want to set the environment variable SMP to 3 or 4 on an
SMP machine to speed up the build (it uses "make -j$SMP" if the
