-wxWidgets 2.5 for GTK+ installation
+wxWidgets 2.6 for GTK+ installation
-----------------------------------
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
- example: wxGTK 2.6.0, gcc 2.95.4, Redhat 6.2
+ example: wxGTK 2.6.3, gcc 3.4.5, Fedora Core 4
* The simplest case
-------------------
> su <type root password>
> make install
> ldconfig
-> exit
+[if you get "ldconfig: command not found", try using "/sbin/ldconfig"]
-Afterwards you can continue with:
-
-> make
-> su <type root password>
-> make install
-> ldconfig
-> exit
-
-(If you don't do the 'make install' part, you can still
-use the libraries from the buildgtk directory, but they
-will not be available to other users.)
+If you don't do the 'make install' part, you can still use the libraries from
+the buildgtk directory, but they may not be available to other users.
If you want to remove wxWidgets on Unix you can do this:
> su <type root password>
> make uninstall
> ldconfig
-> exit
-
-Note that by default, GTK+ 2 is used. GTK+ 1 can be specified
-with --disable-gtk2.
-
-* The Unicode case
-------------------
-
-wxGTK has support for the new version 2.0.X of GTK+ since version 2.4.0.
-This means that wxGTK apps can now make use Unicode as the underlying encoding
-for all text operations. This is a very fundamental change and will need time
-to stabilize, so be careful. After installing a recent version of GTK+
-2.0, do this
-
-> mkdir buildgtk
-> cd buildgtk
-> ../configure --with-gtk --enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode
-> make
-> su <type root password>
-> make install
-> ldconfig
-> exit
-
-If you are adventurous, you can install the FcConfig 2.0 package
-and the Pango library from CVS (or a very recent snapshot from
-the upcoming 1.2 series) and set do "export GDK_USE_XFT=1" so
-that the display as well as the printing code will use render
-using the same FreeType code even for Far Eastern encodings.
-Expect problems.
+Note that by default, GTK+ 2.X is used. GTK+ 1.2 can be specified
+with --with-gtk=1.
* The expert case
-----------------
g++ myfoo.cpp `wx-config --libs --cxxflags` -o myfoo
-* General
----------
-
-The Unix variants of wxWidgets use GNU configure. If you have problems with
-your make use GNU make instead.
-
-If you have general problems with installation, read my homepage at
-
- http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt/
-
-for newest information. If you still don't have any success, please send a bug
-report to one of our mailing lists (see my homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF
-YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT
-DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect,
-but I tried...

* GUI libraries
---------------
wxWidgets/GTK+ requires the GTK+ library to be installed on your system. It has
-to be a stable version, preferably version 1.2.10 (at least 1.2.3 is required,
-1.2.7 is strongly recommended).
+to be a stable version, preferably GTK+ 2.x.y, where x is an even number.
+GTK+ version 1.2 is highly discouraged, but if you decide to still use it,
+please use version 1.2.10 (at least 1.2.3 is required, 1.2.7 is strongly recommended).
You can get the newest version of the GTK+ from the GTK+ homepage at:
if you use all of our CVS repository you have to choose a
toolkit. You must do this by running configure with either of:
- --with-gtk Use the GIMP ToolKit (GTK+). Default.
-
+ --with-gtk=2 Use the GTK+ 2.0. Default.
+ --with-gtk=1 Use the GTK+ 1.2.
--with-motif Use either Motif or Lesstif
Configure will look for both.
--enable-unicode Enable Unicode support.
- --enable-gtk2 Compiling using GTK+ 2 (the default).
-
--enable-profile Add profiling info to the object
files. Currently broken, I think.
