- Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk,
+ Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.3
+
+you have downloaded version 2.3 of the GTK port of the
+wxWindows GUI library.
+
+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.
+
+More information is available from my homepage at:

+ http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt
-you have downloaded version 1.97 of the GTK+ port of C++ library
-wxWindows. Information on how to install can be found in the
-file INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
-all systems
+and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the MSW
+and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's
+homepage at:
-configure --without-threads
+ http://www.wxwindows.org
+
+Information on how to install can be found in the file
+INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
+many systems:
+
+./configure --with-gtk
make
-su (PASSWORD)
+su <type root password>
make install
+ldconfig
+exit

-wxWindows/Gtk is still in development and you can have a look

+The library produced by the install process will be called
+libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.2.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.
