* The most simple case
-----------------------
the wxWindows mailing list.
You'll need OS/2 Warp (4.00FP#6), X-Free86/2 (3.3.3 or newer),
-GTK+ (1.2.1 or newer), emx (0.9d fix 1), flex (2.5.4), yacc (1.8),
+GTK+ (1.2.5 or newer), emx (0.9d fix 1), flex (2.5.4), yacc (1.8),
korn shell (5.2.13), Autoconf (2.13), GNU file utilities (3.6),
GNU text utilities (1.3), GNU shell utilites (1.12), m4 (1.4),
sed (2.05), grep (2.0), Awk (3.0.3), GNU Make (3.76.1).
Notice you can choose whatever you want, if you don't like OS2X.
-After running configure, you'll have to apply to modifications manually
-to the created Makefile:
-- Replace all ":" with ";" in the VPATH variable
-- Replace "ley.yy.c" with "lexyy.c"
+Now, run autoconf in the main directory and in the samples, demos
+and utils subdirectory. This will generate the OS/2 specific
+versions of the configure scripts. Now run
+ configure --with-gtk
+as described above.
+
+If you have pthreads library installed, but have a gtk version
+which does not yet support threading, you need to explicitly
+diable threading by using the option --disable-threads.
+
+Note that configure assumes your flex will generate files named
+"lexyy.c", not "lex.yy.c". If you have a version which does
+generate "lex.yy.c", you need to manually change the generated
+makefile.

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

When producing an executable that is linked statically with wxGTK
you'll be surprised at its immense size. This can sometimes be
drastically reduced by removing features from wxWindows that
are not used in your program. The most relevant such features
are
+ --with-odbc Enables ODBC code. This is disabled
+ by default because iODBC is under the
+ L-GPL license.
+
--without-libpng Disables PNG image format code.
--without-libjpeg Disables JPEG image format code.
+ --without-libtiff Disables TIFF image format code.
+
--disable-pnm Disables PNM image format code.
--disable-gif Disables GIF image format code.
--disable-pcx Disables PCX image format code.
- --without-odbc Disables ODBC code.
-
--disable-resources Disables the use of *.wxr type
resources.
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
+gcc myfoo.cpp `wx-config --cflags --libs` -o myfoo
Using this way, a make file for the minimal sample would look
like this
-CC = g++
+CC = gcc
minimal: minimal.o
$(CC) -o minimal minimal.o `wx-config --libs`
