* General options
-------------------
-The confiugre options have not yet been thoroughly tested
-in wxWindows snapshot 6.
+Given below are the commands to change the default behaviour,
+i.e. if it says "--disable-threads" it means that threads
+are enabled by default.
Normally, you won't have to choose a toolkit, because when
you download wxGTK, it will default to --with-gtk etc. But
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)
+ --without-gtk Don't use the GIMP ToolKit (GTK)
--with-motif Use either Motif or Lesstif
Configure will look for both.
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.

* Feature Options
-------------------
-The confiugre options have not yet been thoroughly tested
-in wxWindows snapshot 6.

When producing an executable that is linked statically with wxGTK
you'll be surprised at its immense size. This can sometimes be
drastically reduced by removing features from wxWindows that
are not used in your program. The most relevant such features
are
- --without-libpng Disables PNG image format code.
+ --with-odbc Enables ODBC code. This is disabled
+ by default because iODBC is under the
+ L-GPL license.
+
+ --without-libpng Disables PNG image format code.
+
+ --without-libjpeg Disables JPEG image format code.
+
+ --without-libtiff Disables TIFF image format code.
+
+ --disable-pnm Disables PNM image format code.
- --without-libjpeg Disables JPEG image format code.
+ --disable-gif Disables GIF image format code.
- --without-odbc Disables ODBC code.
+ --disable-pcx Disables PCX image format code.
- --disable-wxresources Disables the use of *.wxr type
+ --disable-resources Disables the use of *.wxr type
resources.
--disable-threads Disables threads. Will also
--disable-streams Disables the wxStream classes.
+ --disable-file Disables the wxFile class.
+
+ --disable-textfile Disables the wxTextFile class.
+
+ --disable-intl Disables the internationalisation.
+
+ --disable-validators Disables validators.
+
+ --disable-accel Disables accel.
+
Apart from disabling certain features you can very often "strip"
the program of its debugging information resulting in a significant
reduction in size.

warning messages depending in your compiler.

object-files:
- make clean
+ make clean
in the various directories will do the work for you.
1) The first way uses the installed libraries and header files
automatically using wx-config
-g++ myfoo.cpp `wx-config --libs` `wx-config --cflags` -o myfoo
+gcc myfoo.cpp `wx-config --cflags --libs` -o myfoo
Using this way, a make file for the minimal sample would look
like this
-CC = g++
+CC = gcc
minimal: minimal.o
$(CC) -o minimal minimal.o `wx-config --libs`
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
-
-and quite possibly
-
-GNU make
-GNU cc
-
-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.
