-  Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 snapshot 9,
+   Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.4
 
-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 2.4 of the GTK port of the 
+wxWindows GUI library.
 
-Beginning with snapshot 9, wxWindows uses a completely
-new make file system on Unix which no longer uses the
-various GNU tools and I hope that I'll never again have
-to write any more makefiles.
+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 support
+for GTK 2.0.
 
-More information is available from my homepage at:
+More info about the wxWindows project (and the Windows
+and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's 
+homepage at:

 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 or when not using Linux
-read the INSTALL.txt):
+many systems:
 
-./configure
+./configure --with-gtk
 make
 su <type root password>
 make install
 ldconfig
 exit
 
-When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
+In order to use wxGTK with GTK 2.0 and its unicode
+support, you need to configure
+
+./configure --with-gtk --enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode
+etc.
+
+So far, support for GTK 2.0 has only been tested on
+Linux with glibc 2.2.
+
+When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and 
 follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
-please send a bug report to one of our mailing lists (see
-my homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND 
-YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT
-DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. I know

 The library produced by the install process will be called 
-libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.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.
