I) Windows using plain makefiles
----------------------------------------
-a) Using the GNU MinGW32 or GNU CygWin32 compilers
+a) If using Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 or 6.0
+
+Ensure that the command-line compiler and tools (including
+nmake) are installed and ready to run. Depending on your
+installation there may be a batch file (named something like
+VCVARS32.BAT) that needs to be run to set correct environment
+varaibles and PATH entries.
+
+Continue with item c) below.
+
+
+b) If using the GNU MinGW32 or GNU CygWin32 compilers
You'll need the compiler itself which is available from
http://www.cygwin.com
-When using MingW32 you'll need GNU make which is part of

-II) Unix ports using plain makefiles.
---------------------------------------
+II) Unix ports
+--------------
Building wxGTK or wxMotif completely without configure
won't ever work, but there is now a new makefile system
that works without libtool and automake, using only
-configure to create what is needed. So far, no shared
-libraries can be build with this system.
+configure to create what is needed.
+
+In order to create configure, you need to have the
+GNU autoconf package (version 2.13 or 2.14) installed
+on your system and type run "autoconf" in the base
+directory (or run the autogen.sh script in the same
+directory, which just calls autoconf).
Set WXWIN environment variable to the base directory such
as ~/wxWindows (this is actually not really needed).
-> type: cd mybuild
-> type: ../configure --with-motif
or type: ../configure --with-gtk
--> type: cd src/gtk
-or type: cd src/motif
--> type: make -f makefile.unx
+-> type: make
+-> type: su <type root password>
+-> type: make install
+-> type: ldconfig
+-> type: exit
+Call configure with --disable-shared to create a static
+library. Calling "make uninstall" will remove the installed
+library and "make dist" will create a distribution (not
+yet complete).
III) Windows using configure
----------------------------------------
Take a look at Unix->Windows cross compiling. With minor
modifications, this should work in Windows if you've got the cygnus
-utilities (bash, GNU make, etc) and either mingw32 or cygwin32 installed.

-IV) Unix using configure
-----------------------------------------
-
-a) You have all the newest and greatest GNU tools installed on your system
-and in the same directory hierachy (e.g. either all tools in /usr or all
-in /usr/local), these tools are:
-- GNU libtool 1.2e (1.3 doesn't work here)
-- GNU autoconf 2.13 (including autoheader 2.13)
-- GNU automake 1.4 (including aclocal 1.4)
-and possibly but not forcibly
-- GNU make 3.76.1
-- GNU C++ (EGCS)
-
--> Go to the base directory
--> type: ./autogen.sh
-
-b) You don't know what autos are and have no driver's licence anyway:
-
--> Go to the testconf directory
--> type: ./apply
-
-a+b) Then proceed in either case with:
-
--> Choose a directory name that seems fit for building wxWindows, e.g. mybuild
--> Go the base directory
--> type: mkdir mybuild
--> type: cd mybuild
--> type: ../configure --with-gtk
-or type: ../configure --with-motif
-or type: ../configure --with-wine
--> type make
--> drink lots of coffee and go shopping

V) MacOS
----------------------------------------
First you'll need a cross-compiler; linux glibc binaries of mingw32 and
cygwin32 (both based on egcs) can be found at
-ftp://ftp.objsw.com/pub/crossgcc/linux-x-win32. Otherwise you can

compile one yourself. Check the relevant FAQs.

-> cd win32
+(or whatever you called it)
Now run configure. There are two ways to do this
-> ../configure --host=i586-mingw32 --build=i586-linux --with-mingw \
--enable-dnd=no
where --build= should read whatever platform you're building on. Configure
will notice that build and host platforms differ, and automatically prepend
-i586-mingw32- to gcc, ar, ld, etc (make sure they're in the PATH!).
-The other way to run configure is by specifying the names of the binaries

opt for a static one. I haven't looked into DLL creation yet.
