+   Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.3
 
-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 2.3 of the GTK port of the 
+wxWindows GUI library.
 
-Beginning with 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. Read the
-INSTALL.txt file for learning what you can do with the
-new configure/automake/libtool system.
+wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
+snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
+GTK 1.2.6 or above is recommended although some programs 
+will work with GTK 1.2.3 onwards. There is now beta support
+for GTK 2.0.

 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
+./configure --with-gtk
 make
 su <type root password>
 make install
 ldconfig
 exit

 The library produced by the install process will be called
