IMPORTANT NOTE:
When sending bug reports tell us what version of wxWidgets you are
using (including the beta) and what compiler on what system. One

First steps
-----------
Using configure is the only way to build the library. If it doesn't
work for you for whatever reason, please report it (together with detailed
information about your platform and the (relevant part of) contents of
- config.log file) to wx-dev@lists.wxwindows.org.

COMPILING USING CONFIGURE
them concurrently. For this end, you have to create a directory for each build
of wxWidgets - you may also want to create different versions of wxWidgets
and test them concurrently. Most typically, this would be a version configured
-with --enable-debug and one without. Note, that only one build can
-currently be installed, so you'd have to use local version of the library for
-that purpose. For building three versions (one GTK, one Motif and a debug
-version of the GTK source) you'd do this:

+concurrently, you just need to pass the appropriate flags when using them.

If you have a really deficient version of GNU make, it might even be

The SGI native compiler support has only been tested on Irix 6.5.
+* Building wxMotif on Cygwin
+----------------------------
+
+The normal build instructions should work fine on Cygwin. The one difference
+with Cygwin is that when using the "--enable-shared" configure option (which
+is the default) the API is exported explicitly using __declspec(dllexport)
+rather than all global symbols being available.
+
+This shouldn't make a difference using the library and should be a little
+more efficient. However if an export attribute has been missed somewhere you
+will see linking errors. If this happens then you can work around the
+problem by setting LDFLAGS=-Wl,--export-all-symbols. Please also let us know
+about it on the wx-dev mailing list.

Apart from disabling certain features you can very often "strip"

If your application uses only some of wxWidgets libraries, you can
specify required libraries when running wx-config. For example,
`wx-config --libs=html,core` will only output link command to link
