-* The most simple errors
-------------------------
-
-configure reports, that you don't have GTK 1.X installed although you are 
-very sure you have. Well, you have installed it, but you also have another 
-version of the GTK installed, which you may need to remove including other 
-versions of glib (and its headers). Also, look for the PATH variable and check 
-if it includes the path to the correct gtk-config! The check your LDPATH if it 
-points to the correct library. There is no way to compile wxGTK if configure 
-doesn't pass this test as all this test does is compile and link a GTK program.
-
-You get errors during compilation: The reason is that you probably have a broken 
-compiler, which includes almost everything that is called gcc. If you use gcc 2.8 
-you have to disable optimsation as the compiler will give up with an internal 
-compiler error.
-
-If there is just any way for you to use egcs, use egcs. We cannot fix gcc.
-
-You get immediate segfault when starting any sample or application: This is either 
-due to having compiled the library with different flags or options than your program - 
-typically you might have the __WXDEBUG__ option set for the library but not for your 
-program - or due to using a broken compiler (and its optimisation) such as GCC 2.8.
-
-* The most simple program
--------------------------
-
-Now create your super-application myfoo.app and compile anywhere with
-
-g++ myfoo.cpp `wx-config --libs --cflags` -o myfoo
-
-* General
------------------------
-
-The Unix variants of wxWindows use GNU configure. If you have problems with your 
-make use GNU make instead.
+* The simplest errors
+---------------------
+
+For any configure errors: please look at config.log file which was generated
+during configure run, it usually contains some useful information.
+
+configure reports, that you don't have GTK+ 1.2 installed although you are
+very sure you have. Well, you have installed it, but you also have another
+version of the GTK+ installed, which you may need to remove including other
+versions of glib (and its headers). Or maybe you installed it in non default
+location and configure can't find it there, so please check that your PATH
+variable includes the path to the correct gtk-config. Also check that your
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent variable contains the path to GTK+ libraries if
+they were installed in a non default location.
+
+You get errors from make: please use GNU make instead of the native make
+program. Currently wxWidgets can be built only with GNU make, BSD make and
+Solaris make. Other versions might work or not (any which don't have VPATH
+support definitely won't).
+
+You get errors during compilation: The reason is that you probably have a
+broken compiler.  GCC 2.8 and earlier versions and egcs are likely to cause
+problems due to incomplete support for C++ and optimisation bugs.  Best to use
+GCC 2.95 or later.
+
+You get immediate segfault when starting any sample or application: This is
+either due to having compiled the library with different flags or options than
+your program - typically you might have the __WXDEBUG__ option set for the
+library but not for your program - or due to using a compiler with optimisation
+bugs.
+
+Linker complains about missing PROIO_yy_flex_alloc and similar symbols: you
+probably have an old version of flex, 2.5.4 is recommended.

+You'll need OS/2 Warp (4.51) or eCS(1.0), X-Free86/2 (3.3.6 or newer),
+GTK+ (1.2.5 or newer), emx (0.9d fix 4), flex (2.5.4), yacc (1.8) or

+Presence of Posix/2 will be auto-detected.

-First set some global environment variables we need:
+Set MAKESHELL (and depending on your installation also INSTALL, for me
+it tends to try to use the system's tcpip\pcomos\install.exe which causes
+problems...) to a Unix like shell, e.g.
+SET MAKESHELL=ash

 
 

-SET CXXFLAGS=-Zmtd -D__ST_MT_ERRNO__
-SET OSTYPE=OS2X              
-SET COMSPEC=sh
+Be warned that depending on the precise version of your make, the
+variable that needs to be set might be MAKE_SHELL instead of MAKESHELL.
+If you have a really deficient version of GNU make, it might even be
+necessary to set SHELL or even COMSPEC to a unix like shell as well. 

 
 

-Notice you can choose whatever you want, if you don't like OS2X.
+Notice that the delivered configure scripts are fully OS/2 aware, so you
+can simply run
+    ash -c "configure --with-gtk"
+and make and possibly make install as described above.

-The basic philosophy is that if you want to use different

-you have only to change the environment variable OSTYPE.
-(Sadly this variable is not set by default on some systems

 Apart from disabling certain features you can very often "strip"
 the program of its debugging information resulting in a significant
 reduction in size.
