+ Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 snapshot 9,
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.
-Beginning from snapshot 6 wxWindows uses a completely
-new make file system on Unix that uses GNU automake,
-GNU autoconf and GNU autoheader. You do not need these
-programs in order to use the library, but for taking
-part in its development, they are required. Read the
-INSTALL.txt file for learning what you can do with it.
+Beginning with snapshot 9, wxWindows uses a completely
+new make file system on Unix which no longer uses the
+various GNU tools and I hope that I'll never again have
+to write any more makefiles.
More information is available from my homepage at:
Information on how to install can be found in the file
INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
-many systems (when using GTK 1.0 read the INSTALL.txt):
+many systems (when using GTK 1.0 or when not using Linux
+read the INSTALL.txt):
./configure

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