+ Welcome to wxWidgets 2.7.0 for GTK+
+ -----------------------------------
- Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk,
+You have downloaded version 2.7 of the GTK+ port of the
+wxWidgets GUI library.
+
+wxWidgets no longer supports GTK 1.0.x (as did some early
+snapshots) and support for GTK 1.2.x will be phased out
+over time. Nearly all work is now done on GTK 2.0.x and
+quite a few of the enhancements of GTK+ 2.4.x and even
+GTK 2.8.x are used.
+
+More info about the wxWidgets project (including all the
+other ports and version of wxWidgets) can be found at the
+main wxWidgets homepage at:
+
+ http://www.wxwidgets.org/
-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
-make
-su (PASSWORD)
-make install
+ mkdir build_gtk
+ cd build_gtk
+ ../configure
+ make
+ su <type root password>
+ make install
+ ldconfig
-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.
+In order to use wxGTK with GTK 1.2 you need to use --with-gtk=1
+configure option. To build the library in Unicode mode (all
+strings will be wide strings and so on) you need to configure
+with GTK 2.0 and add --enable-unicode.
-More information is available from my homepage at
+Please note that it is strongly advised to build the library in
+a separate directory, as shown above, as it allows you to have
+different builds of it (for example with and without debug) in
+parallel. If you build in the source directory, don't forget to
+do "make clean" before changing the configuration!
+
+
+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...
