- Welcome to wxWindows for GTK 1.0,
+ Welcome to wxWidgets 2.6 for GTK+
+
+You have downloaded version 2.6 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+ 2.2.x and even
+GTK 2.4.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 the first beta version of the upcoming
-release 2.0 of the GTK+ 1.0 port of wxWindows library.
-
Information on how to install can be found in the file
INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
-all systems
+many systems:
+
+ mkdir build_gtk
+ cd build_gtk
+ ../configure --with-gtk=2
+ make
+ su <type root password>
+ make install
+ ldconfig
+
+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.
-configure
-make
-su (PASSWORD)
-make install
-ldconfig
+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 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
-this has no effect, but I tried...

-This is the beta release which means that we have a feature
-freeze. We'll move up to version 2.0 rather soon and from then
-on there will be no more binary incompatible changes. We might
-add more classes, but none that would alter the behaviour of
-the existing ones. The library produced by the install process
-of the final version will be called libwx_gtk_1_0.a (static)
-and libwx_gtk_1_0.so.2.0.0 (shared) so that once a version
-of wxWindows/Gtk for GTK 1.2 comes out we'll change the name
-of the library to avoid linking problems.
