-  Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk,
+   Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1.11
+
+you have downloaded version 2.1 of the GTK+ 1.2 port of 
+the wxWindows GUI library. Although this is not yet the
+final stable release wxGTK 2.2, the current version has
+been tested carefully on many systems and has been found
+to work better than any other previous version.
+
+Nonetheless, beware that major changes can happen before 
+a final release.
+
+wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
+snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
+
+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.
+
+More information is available from my homepage at:
+
+  http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt
+  
+and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the MSW
+and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's 
+homepage at:

-you have downloaded version 1.96 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
+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 --without-threads
+./configure --with-gtk

 make
 make

-su (PASSWORD)
+su <type root password>

 make install
 make install

+ldconfig
+exit

 
 

-wxWindows/Gtk is still in development and you can have a look
-at the todo.txt to see what's missing before an official beta
-and - more important - before we can aim at binary compatibility.
+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 list, 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 this has no effect, but I tried...

 
 

-More information is available from my homepage at
+The library produced by the install process will be called 
+libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.so.11.0.0 (shared) so 
+that once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes 
+out we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking 
+problems.
