- Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 snapshot 6,
+ Welcome to wxWidgets/Gtk 2.5
-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 2.5 of the GTK+ port of the
+wxWidgets GUI library.
-Beginning from 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.
+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+ 2.2.x and even
+GTK 2.4.x are used.
-More information is available from my homepage at:
+More info about the wxWidgets project (including all the
+other ports and version of wxWidgets) can be found at the
+main wxWidgets homepage at:
- http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt
-
-and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the
-Windows and Motif ports in particular) can be found
-at Julian Smart's homepage at:

Information on how to install can be found in the file
INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
-many systems (when using GTK 1.0 read the INSTALL.txt):
+many systems:
-./configure
-make
-su <type root password>
-make install
-ldconfig
-exit
+ mkdir build_gtk
+ cd build_gtk
+ ../configure --with-gtk
+ make
+ su <type root password>
+ make install
+ ldconfig
-When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
-follow those instructions. 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...
+In order to use wxGTK with GTK 2.0 you need to use --enable-gtk2
+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!
