To get everything compiled you'll need to have installed prior to compiling

You' have to fix the following bug:

-Redefine the logical SYS$LIBRARY in such a way that it also points
- to the includefile/library directories of the obove packages:

i.e.
$ define sys$library sys$sysroot:[syslib],-
$disk2:[joukj.public.xpm.xpm.lib],-
versions of VMS. If you get lib$get_current_invo_context undefined
while linking you'll have to add
"lib$get_current_invo_context"="LIB$GET_CURR_INVO_CONTEXT"
- in [.src.unix]descrip.mms to CXX_DEFINE. and recompile wxWindows.

-Some versions of the CC compiler give warnings like
%CC-W-CXXKEYWORD, "bool" is a keyword in C++ .... when compiling
if You encounter these, replace mms by mms/ignore=warning in the
following
- -Now build evrything using one of the following

-Many thanks for testing and reporting problems to:

+ -Known problems :
+ wxMOTIF :
+ -The calendar sample puts the boxes of the month and year selection on
+ top of each other.
+ -The caret sample: sometimes a non blinking caret remains in the
+ window.
+ -checklist sample: There is no way to check/uncheck since this box is
+ missing
+ -conftest sample: The boxes in the window are too small to display
+ texts with the fonts specified.
+ -controls sample: radiobox does not appear on the screen
+ -Some samples crash due to colour allocation problems
+ i.e. -drawing,image
+
+ wxGTK :
+ -In the calendar sample options can only be switched on and not off
+ again.
+ -image sample: after clicking "about" the colourmap is permanently
+ changed resulting in strange images
