-Please the wxGTK or wxMotif documentation for use of the Unix version of wxWindows.
+The GTK and Motif ports of wxWindow can create either a static library or a shared
+library on most Unix or Unix-like systems. The static library is called libwx\_gtk.a
+and libwx\_motif.a whereas the name of the shared library is dependent on the
+system it is created on and the version you are using. The library name for the
+GTK version of wxWindows 2.2 on Linux and Solaris will be libwx\_gtk-2.2.so.0.0.0,
+on HP-UX, it will be libwx\_gtk-2.2.sl, on AIX just libwx\_gtk.a etc.

 applications, or wxdll.lib for creating DLLs.
