<p>This document will describe the few differences and additions to the
content in the <a class="reference" href="BUILD.html">BUILD</a> document for installing wxPython built from
source. Please follow the intstructions both in this file and in
path into the binaries by using the rpath option when configuring
wxWidgets. For example:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
---enable-rpath=/opt/wx/2.5/lib \
+--enable-rpath=/opt/wx/2.6/lib \
</pre>
<p>SOLARIS NOTE: The --enable-rpath option may cause problems when
using wxGTK on Solaris when compiling wxPython as described below.
</li>
<li><p class="first">In addition to building wxPython as described in BUILD.txt, you can
install it to Python's site-packages dir, as well as some scripts
-into the same bin dir used by Python by using this command:</p>
+into the same bin dir used by Python by using this command, plus
+whatever WXPORT, UNICODE, etc. settings you used for the initial
+build step:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
-python2.3 setup.py install
+python2.3 setup.py install
</pre>
<p>If you would like to install to some place besides the prefix where
Python is installed, (such as to your home directory) then you can
complicate things further, the Jaguar version, or a custom build
you do yourself will end up in /Library/Frameworks even on
Panther...</li>
-<li>You need to use pythonw at the command line or PythonLauncher app
-to run wxPython apps, otherwise the app will not be able to fully
-use the GUI display.</li>
