- Welcome to wxWindows for GTK 1.0,
+ Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.01,
-you have downloaded the first beta version of the upcoming
-release 2.0 of the GTK+ 1.0 port of wxWindows library.
+you have downloaded version 2.01 of the GTK+ 1.0 port of
+the wxWindows GUI library.
+More information is available from my homepage at:
+
+ http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt
+
+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:
+
+ http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin
+
Information on how to install can be found in the file
INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
all systems
-configure
+./configure
make
-su (PASSWORD)
make install
-ldconfig
+
+Type the following to make the samples
+
+make samples
+
+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
When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. I know
this has no effect, but I tried...
-This is the beta release which means that we have a feature
-freeze. We'll move up to version 2.0 rather soon and from then
-on there will be no more binary incompatible changes. We might
-add more classes, but none that would alter the behaviour of
-the existing ones. The library produced by the install process
-of the final version will be called libwx_gtk_1_0.a (static)
-and libwx_gtk_1_0.so.2.0.0 (shared) so that once a version
-of wxWindows/Gtk for GTK 1.2 comes out we'll change the name
-of the library to avoid linking problems.
