+wxWidgets for GTK+ installation
+-------------------------------
- !!! When sending bug reports tell us what version of
- wxWindows you are using (including the beta) and
- what compiler on what system. One example:
- wxGTK 2.1 beta 6, egcs 1.1.1, Redhat 5.0 !!!
+IMPORTANT NOTE:
-* The most simple case
------------------------
+ If you experience problems installing, please re-read these
+ instructions and other related files (todo.txt, bugs.txt and
+ osname.txt for your platform if it exists) carefully before
+ mailing wxwin-users or the author. Preferably, try to fix the
+ problem first and then send a patch to the author.
-If you compile wxWindows on Unix for the first time and don't
-like to read install instructions just do (in the base dir):
+ When sending bug reports tell us what version of wxWidgets you are
+ using (including the beta) and what compiler on what system. One
+ example: wxGTK 2.8.0, gcc 3.4.5, Fedora Core 4
-./configure
-make
-su <type root password>
-make install
-ldconfig
-exit
+* The simplest case
+-------------------
-If you want to remove wxWindows on Unix you can do this:
+If you compile wxWidgets on Linux for the first time and don't like to read
+install instructions just do (in the base dir):
-su <type root password>
-make uninstall
-ldconfig
-exit
+> mkdir buildgtk
+> cd buildgtk
+> ../configure --with-gtk
+> make
+> su <type root password>
+> make install
+> ldconfig
+[if you get "ldconfig: command not found", try using "/sbin/ldconfig"]
+
+If you don't do the 'make install' part, you can still use the libraries from
+the buildgtk directory, but they may not be available to other users.
+
+If you want to remove wxWidgets on Unix you can do this:
+
+> su <type root password>
+> make uninstall
+> ldconfig
+
+Note that by default, GTK+ 2.X is used. GTK+ 1.2 can be specified
+with --with-gtk=1.
* The expert case
-----------------
-If you want to do some more serious cross-platform programming
-with wxWindows, such as for GTK and Motif, you can now build
-two complete libraries and use them concurretly. For this end,
-you have to create a directory for each build of wxWindows -
-you may also want to create different versions of wxWindows
-and test them concurrently. Most typically, this would be a
-version configured with --enable-debug_flag and one without.
-Note, that only one build can currenty be installed, so you'd
-have to use local version of the library for that purpose.
-For building three version, one GTK, one Motif and a debug
-version of the GTK source, you'd do this:
-
-md buildmotif
+If you want to do some more serious cross-platform programming with wxWidgets,

+of wxWidgets - you may also want to create different versions of wxWidgets
+and test them concurrently. Most typically, this would be a version configured
+with --enable-debug and one without.

cd ..
-md buildgtkd
+mkdir buildgtkd
cd buildgtkd
../configure --with-gtk --enable-debug
make
cd ..
-* The most simple errors
-------------------------
+Note that you can install all those libraries concurrently, you just need to
+pass the appropriate flags when using them.
-configure reports, that you don't have GTK 1.X installed
-although you are certainly sure you have. Well, you have
-installed it, but you also have another version of the
-GTK installed, which you may need to removed including
-other versions of glib (and its headers). Also, look
-for the PATH variable and check if it includes the path
-to the correct gtk-config! The check your LDPATH if
-it points to the correct library. There is no way to
-compile wxGTK if configure doesn't pass this test as
-all this test does is compile and link a GTK program.
-
-You get errors during compilation: The reason is that you
-probably have a broken compiler, which includes almost
-everything that is called gcc. If you use gcc 2.8 you
-have to disable optimsation as the compiler will give
-up with an internal compiler error.
-
-If there is just any way for you to use egcs, use egcs.
-We are sorry, but we cannot fix gcc.
-
-You get immediate segfault when starting any sample
-or application: This is either due to having compiled
-the library with different flags or options than your
-program - typically you might have the __WXDEBUG__ option
-set for the library but not for your program - or due
-to using a broken compiler (and its optimisation) such
-as GCC 2.8.
-
-* The most simple program
--------------------------
-
-Now create your super-application myfoo.app and compile anywhere
-with
-
-g++ myfoo.cpp `wx-config --libs --cflags` -o myfoo
-
-* General
------------------------
+* The simplest errors
+---------------------
+
+For any configure errors: please look at config.log file which was generated
+during configure run, it usually contains some useful information.
-The Unix variants of wxWindows use GNU configure. If you have
-problems with your make use GNU make instead.
+configure reports, that you don't have GTK+ 1.2/2.0 installed although you are
+very sure you have. Well, you have installed it, but you also have another
+version of the GTK+ installed, which you may need to remove including other
+versions of glib (and its headers). Or maybe you installed it in a non-default
+location and configure can't find it there, so please check that your PATH
+variable includes the path to the correct gtk-config/pkg-config. Also check
+that your LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent variable contains the path to GTK+
+libraries if they were installed in a non-default location.
-If you have general problems with installation, read my
-homepage at
+You get errors from make: please use GNU make instead of the native make
+program. Currently wxWidgets can be built only with GNU make, BSD make and
+Solaris make. Other versions might work or not (any which don't have VPATH
+support definitely won't).

-this has no effect, but I tried...
+You get errors during compilation: The reason is that you probably have a
+broken compiler. GCC 2.8 and earlier versions and egcs are likely to cause
+problems due to incomplete support for C++ and optimisation bugs. Best to use
+GCC 2.95 or later.
+
+You get immediate segfault when starting any sample or application: This is
+either due to having compiled the library with different flags or options than

------------------------
+---------------
+
+wxWidgets/GTK+ requires the GTK+ library to be installed on your system. It has
+to be a stable version, preferably GTK+ 2.x.y, where x is an even number.
+GTK+ version 1.2 is highly discouraged, but if you decide to still use it,
+please use version 1.2.10 (at least 1.2.3 is required, 1.2.7 is strongly recommended).
-wxWindows/GTK requires the GTK+ library to be installed on your system.
-It has to be a stable version, preferebly version 1.2.3. You can use
-GTK 1.0 in connection with wxWindows, but only without Drag'n'Drop.
-wxWindows does work with the 1.1.X versions of the GTK+ library.

* Additional libraries
------------------------
+----------------------
+
+wxWidgets/Gtk requires a thread library and X libraries known to work with
+threads. This is the case on all commercial Unix-Variants and all
+Linux-Versions that are based on glibc 2 except RedHat 5.0 which is broken in
+many aspects. As of writing this, virtually all Linux distributions have
+correct glibc 2 support.

exit
-
-NB: DO NOT COMPILE WXGTK WITH GCC AND THREADS, SINCE
-ALL PROGRAMS WILL CRASH UPON START-UP! Just always
-use egcs and be happy.
-
-* Create your configuration
------------------------------
-Usage:
- ./configure options
-
-If you want to use system's C and C++ compiler,
-set environment variables CC and CCC as
+* Building wxGTK on OS/2
+------------------------
- % setenv CC cc
- % setenv CCC CC
- % ./configure options
+Please send comments and question about the OS/2 installation
+to Stefan Neis <Stefan.Neis@t-online.de> and patches to
+the wxWidgets mailing list.
+
+In the following list, the version numbers indicate the configuration that
+was actually used by myself, newer version should cause no problems and
+even older ones are expected to work most of the time.
+
+You'll need OS/2 Warp (4.51) or eCS(1.0), X-Free86/2 (3.3.6 or newer),
+GTK+ (1.2.5 or newer), emx (0.9d fix 4), a Unix like shell (pdksh-5.2.14 or
+ash), Autoconf (2.57), GNU file utilities (3.13), GNU text utilities (1.19),
+GNU shell utilites (1.12), m4 (1.4), sed (2.05), grep (2.0), Awk (3.0.3),
+GNU Make (3.75).
+
+Preferably, you should have Posix/2 installed and C(PLUS)_INCLUDE_PATH and
+LIBRARY_PATH set up accordingly, however, wxGTK will even work without it.
+Presence of Posix/2 will be auto-detected.
+
+Open an OS/2 prompt and switch to the directory above.
+Set MAKESHELL or MAKE_SHELL (which one is needed depends on the version of
+make) to a Unix like shell, e.g.
+SET MAKESHELL=ash
+If you have a really deficient version of GNU make, it might even be
+necessary to set SHELL or even COMSPEC to a unix like shell as well.
+Depending on your installation you might want to also set INSTALL, for me
+it tends to try to use the system's tcpip\pcomos\install.exe which causes
+problems, e.g.
+SET INSTALL=<path_to_src_directory>/install-sh -c
+
+Notice that the delivered configure scripts are fully OS/2 aware, so you
+can simply run
+ ash -c "configure --with-gtk=1"
+and make and possibly make install as described above.
+
+* Building wxGTK on SGI
+-----------------------
Using the SGI native compilers, it is recommended that you
-also set CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS before running configure. These
+also set CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS before running configure. These
should be set to :
-CFLAGS="-mips3 -n32"
+CFLAGS="-mips3 -n32"
CXXFLAGS="-mips3 -n32"
-This is essential if you want to use the resultant binaries
-on any other machine than the one it was compiled on. If you
-have a 64bit machine (Octane) you should also do this to ensure
-you don't accidently build the libraries as 64bit (which is

+on any other machine than the one it was compiled on. If you
+have a 64bit machine (Octane) you should also do this to ensure
+you don't accidently build the libraries as 64bit (which is
untested).
The SGI native compiler support has only been tested on Irix 6.5.
-to see all the options please use:
+* Building wxGTK on Cygwin
+--------------------------
+
+The normal build instructions should work fine on Cygwin. The one difference
+with Cygwin is that when using the "--enable-shared" configure option (which
+is the default) the API is exported explicitly using __declspec(dllexport)
+rather than all global symbols being available.
+
+This shouldn't make a difference using the library and should be a little
+more efficient. However if an export attribute has been missed somewhere you
+will see linking errors. If this happens then you can work around the
+problem by setting LDFLAGS=-Wl,--export-all-symbols. Please also let us know
+about it on the wx-dev mailing list.
+
+* Create your configuration
+---------------------------
+
+Usage:
+ ./configure options
+
+If you want to use system's C and C++ compiler,
+set environment variables CC and CXX as
- ./configure --help
+ % setenv CC cc
+ % setenv CXX CC
+ % ./configure [options]
-The basic philosophy is that if you want to use different
-configurations, like a debug and a release version,
-or use the same source tree on different systems,
-you have only to change the environment variable OSTYPE.
-(Sadly this variable is not set by default on some systems
-in some shells - on SGI's for example). So you will have to
-set it there. This variable HAS to be set before starting
-configure, so that it knows which system it tries to
-configure for.
+to see all the options please use:
+
+ ./configure --help
-Configure will complain if the system variable OSTYPE has
-not been defined. And Make in some circumstances as well...
+It is recommended to build wxWidgets in another directory (maybe a
+subdirectory of your wxWidgets installation) as this allows you to
+have multiple configurations (for example, debug and release or GTK
+and Motif) simultaneously.
* General options
--------------------
+-----------------
-The confiugre options have not yet been thoroughly tested
-in wxWindows snapshot 6.
+Given below are the commands to change the default behaviour,
+i.e. if it says "--disable-threads" it means that threads
+are enabled by default.
Normally, you won't have to choose a toolkit, because when
you download wxGTK, it will default to --with-gtk etc. But
-if you use all of our CVS repository you have to choose a
+if you use all of our SVN repository you have to choose a
toolkit. You must do this by running configure with either of:
- --with-gtk Use the GIMP ToolKit (GTK)
-
- --with-motif Use either Motif or Lesstif
- Configure will look for both.
+ --with-gtk=2 Use the GTK+ 2.0. Default.
+ --with-gtk=1 Use the GTK+ 1.2.
+ --with-motif Use either Motif or Lesstif
+ Configure will look for both.
The following options handle the kind of library you want to build.
- --disable-threads Compile without thread support. Threads
- support is also required for the
- socket code to work.
-
- --disable-shared Do not create shared libraries.
-
- --disable-optimise Do not optimise the code. Can
- sometimes be useful for debugging
- and is required on some architectures
- such as Sun with gcc 2.8.X which
- would otherwise produce segvs.
-
- --enable-profile Add profiling info to the object
- files. Currently broken, I think.
-
- --enable-mem_tracing Add built-in memory tracing.
-
- --enable-dmalloc Use the dmalloc memory debugger.
- Read more at www.letters.com/dmalloc/
-
- --enable-debug_info Add debug info to object files and
- executables for use with debuggers
- such as gdb (or its many frontends).
-
- --enable-debug_flag Define __DEBUG__ and __WXDEBUG__ when
- compiling. This enable wxWindows' very
- useful internal debugging tricks (such
- as automatically reporting illegal calls)
- to work. Note that program and library
- must be compiled with the same debug
- options.
+ --disable-threads Compile without thread support.
-* Feature Options
--------------------
+ --disable-shared Do not create shared libraries, but
+ build static libraries instead.
+
+ --enable-monolithic Build wxWidgets as single library instead
+ of as several smaller libraries (which is
+ the default since wxWidgets 2.5.0).
+
+ --disable-optimise Do not optimise the code. Can
+ sometimes be useful for debugging
+ and is required on some architectures
+ such as Sun with gcc 2.8.X which
+ would otherwise produce segvs.
+
+ --enable-unicode Enable Unicode support.
+
+ --enable-profile Add profiling info to the object
+ files. Currently broken, I think.
+
+ --enable-no_rtti Enable compilation without creation of
+ C++ RTTI information in object files.
+ This will speed-up compilation and reduce
+ binary size.
+
+ --enable-no_exceptions Enable compilation without creation of
+ C++ exception information in object files.
+ This will speed-up compilation and reduce
+ binary size. Also fewer crashes during the
+ actual compilation...
+
+ --enable-no_deps Enable compilation without creation of
+ dependency information.
+
+ --enable-permissive Enable compilation without checking for strict
+ ANSI conformance. Useful to prevent the build
+ dying with errors as soon as you compile with
+ Solaris' ANSI-defying headers.
+
+ --enable-mem_tracing Add built-in memory tracing.
+
+ --enable-dmalloc Use the dmalloc memory debugger.

you'll be surprised at its immense size. This can sometimes be

* Creating a new Project
--------------------------
-There are two ways to create your own project:
-
1) The first way uses the installed libraries and header files
automatically using wx-config
-g++ myfoo.cpp `wx-config --libs` `wx-config --cflags` -o myfoo
+g++ myfoo.cpp `wx-config --cxxflags --libs` -o myfoo
Using this way, a make file for the minimal sample would look
like this
-CC = g++
+CXX = g++
minimal: minimal.o
- $(CC) -o minimal minimal.o `wx-config --libs`
+ $(CXX) -o minimal minimal.o `wx-config --libs`
-minimal.o: minimal.cpp mondrian.xpm
- $(CC) `wx-config --cflags` -c minimal.cpp -o minimal.o
+minimal.o: minimal.cpp
+ $(CXX) `wx-config --cxxflags` -c minimal.cpp -o minimal.o
-clean:
+clean:
rm -f *.o minimal
-This is certain to become the standard way unless we decide
-to sitch to tmake.
+If your application uses only some of wxWidgets libraries, you can
+specify required libraries when running wx-config. For example,
+`wx-config --libs=html,core` will only output link command to link
+with libraries required by core GUI classes and wxHTML classes. See
+the manual for more information on the libraries.
-2) The other way creates a project within the source code
-directories of wxWindows. For this endeavour, you'll need
-the usual number of GNU tools, at least
+2) The other way creates a project within the source code
+directories of wxWidgets. For this endeavour, you'll need
+GNU autoconf version 2.14 and add an entry to your Makefile.in
+to the bottom of the configure.in script and run autoconf
+and configure before you can type make.
-GNU automake version 1.4
-GNU autoheader version 2.14
-GNU autoconf version 2.14
-
-and quite possibly
-
-GNU make
-GNU cc
-
-and if you have all this then you probably know enough to
-go ahead yourself :-)
-
-** Something about Makefiles
-------------------------------
-
-On general principle it should only contain ONE line, which is as follows:
-
- include ../../setup/general/makeapp
-
-this will include all the necessary definitions for creating the applications
-
-the only case where you might want to add another line is the following:
-this version of configure also supports creation of source archives of the
-application for easy distribution and updates to newer version of wxWindows.
- For this purpose all files in the application-directory will be put into
-a gziped tar-file in the full notation user/<your application>/*
-if you want to include some other files that you want "more visible", like
-a README.<yourApp> or a shell script for easy
-compilation/installation/distribution, then you have to add a variable
-
- DISTRIBUTE_ADDITIONAL=<your files>
-
-to the Makefile.
-So it would look like this:
-
- DISTRIBUTE_ADDITIONAL=README.TheApp
- include ../../setup/general/makeapp
-
-As we have already talked about distribution the command to create a
-distribution is:
-
- make distrib
-
-NOTE: If you are in the base directory of wxWindows it will create
-distribution packages for wxWindows as well as for all packages in the
-user directory.
- So if you want to create only packages for the files in user,
-then go to the directory other and type:
-
- make distrib
-
-or if you only want one application to be created then
-enter the specific directory and type there:
-make distrib
-
-All the distribution files will be put in the directory
-distrib at the base of the wxWindows-tree (where also configure
-and template.mak can be found).
-
-** Something about Makefile.in
---------------------------------
-
-As you have already seen with Makefile, configure makes a lot of use
-if the include statement in make to keep the Makefiles as simple as
-possible.
-
-So basically there are only variables to define and then a include command.
-Exception to this rule is if you have special rules for some stuff...
-These rules should go AFTER the include statement!!!
-
-so the general header looks like this:
-
- # wxWindows base directory
- WXBASEDIR=@WXBASEDIR@
- # set the OS type for compilation
- OS=@OS@
- # compile a library only
- RULE=bin
-
-and the general footer will look like this:
-
- # include the definitions now
- include ../../../template.mak
-
-the key variable is RULE, which defines what make should create
-in this directory.
-
-here are some examples:
-
- RULE description
- ===========================================================================
- bin creates a local binary (for a global binary prefix bin with g)
- additional variables needed:
- BIN_TARGET this gives the name of your application
- BIN_OBJ this gives the object files needed to
- link the application
- optional variables are:
- BIN_SRC this gives the list of c/c++ files for
- which dependencies will be checked.
- (This can be achieved with: make depend)
- BIN_LINK this gives commands for additional
- libraries needed to link the application
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- bin2 creates two local binaries (for global binaries prefix bin2 with g)
- in addition to the variables specified above you MUST also
- provide the same variables with BIN2_ instead of BIN_
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- lib creates a local library (for a global binary prefix bin with g)
- additional variables needed:
- LIB_TARGET this gives the name of your library
- LIB_OBJ this gives the object files needed for
- the library to be build.
- optional variables are:
- LIB_SRC this gives the list of c/c++ files for
- which dependencies will be checked.
- libbin and libgbin are also possible and will need in addition
- the variables from bin
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- gslib is similar to lib, but it creates a shared library if the system
- supports it.
- additional variables needed:
- LIB_MAJOR major number of the shared library
- LIB_MINOR minor number of the shared library
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- other additional variables:
-
- ADD_COMPILE define additional includes/defines that
- are needed to compile the object files
- (if you need to reference some directory
- utils - like wxGrid -, then please
- reference them with the variables defined
- in template.mak - e.g.: $(SRCDIR),$(UTILS),
- $(SAMPLES),$(OTHERS))
-
- NEEDED_DEFINES lists all the defines that HAVE to be set in
- /include/wx/setup.h to compile correctly.
-
- SRC_DIR lists all directories that are needed to
- compile. (i.e: lists all the directories,
- where there are source-files.) But it is
- also needed to clean an object and for
- machines, for which make does not support
- VPATH
-
-currently there are the following compiling rules provided:
-object files are created for the following file extensions:
-.c .cc .cpp
-
-Please have a closer look at the Makefiles in this distribution.
