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). Also, look for the PATH variable and check

-----------------------
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, albeit without Drag'n'Drop. wxWindows does work with the 1.1.X
-versions of the GTK+ library.
+be a stable version, preferebly version 1.2.3.
You can get the newest version of the GTK+ from the GTK homepage at:
http://www.gtk.org

* Building wxGTK on OS/2
Please send comments and question about the OS/2 installation
to Andrea Venturoli <a.ventu@flashnet.it> and patches to
-make the installation work (better) to me (Robert Roebling).
+make to me (Robert Roebling) or the wxWindows mailing list.
-You'll need OS/2 Warp (4.00FP#6), X-Free86/2 (3.3.3),
-gtk+ (?), emx (0.9d fix 1), flex (2.5.4), yacc (1.8),
-korn shell (5.2.13), Autoconf (?), 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).
First set some global environment variables we need:
SET CXXFLAGS=-Zmtd -D__ST_MT_ERRNO__
+SET CFLAGS=-Zmtd -D__ST_MT_ERRNO__
SET OSTYPE=OS2X
SET COMSPEC=sh
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"

* Building wxGTK on SGI
--------------------------
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-threads Compile without thread support.
--disable-shared Do not create shared libraries.
+ --enable-static Create static libraries.
+
--disable-optimise Do not optimise the code. Can
sometimes be useful for debugging
and is required on some architectures
--enable-profile Add profiling info to the object
files. Currently broken, I think.
- --enable-mem_tracing Add built-in memory tracing.
+ --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 creation of
+ giving erros 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.

--without-libjpeg Disables JPEG image format code.
-{ --without-odbc Disables ODBC code. Not yet. }
+ --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.
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
-
-GNU automake version 1.4
-GNU autoheader version 2.14
-GNU autoconf version 2.14
-GNU libtool version 1.3
-
-and quite possibly
-
-GNU make
-GNU C++
-
-and if you have all this then you probably know enough to
-go ahead yourself :-)
+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.
