-  Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 snapshot 8,
+   Welcome to wxWidgets 2.6 for GTK+

 
 

-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.
+You have downloaded version 2.6 of the GTK+ port of the 
+wxWidgets GUI library.

 
 

-Beginning with 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 the
-new configure/automake/libtool system.
+wxWidgets no longer supports GTK 1.0.x (as did some early
+snapshots) and support for GTK 1.2.x will be phased out
+over time. Nearly all work is now done on GTK 2.0.x and
+quite a few of the enhancements of GTK+ 2.4.x and even
+GTK 2.8.x are used.

+In order to use wxGTK with GTK 1.2 you need to use --with-gtk=1
+configure option. To build the library in Unicode mode (all
+strings will be wide strings and so on) you need to configure
+with GTK 2.0 and add --enable-unicode.

 
 

-The library produced by the install process will be called 
-libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.so.0.0.0 (shared) so that 
-once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes out 
-we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking problems.
+Please note that it is strongly advised to build the library in
+a separate directory, as shown above, as it allows you to have
+different builds of it (for example with and without debug) in
+parallel. If you build in the source directory, don't forget to
+do "make clean" before changing the configuration!
