+   Welcome to wxWidgets/Gtk 2.5

 
 

-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.
+You have downloaded version 2.5 of the GTK port of the 
+wxWidgets GUI library.

 
 

-Nonetheless, beware that major changes can happen before 
-a final release.

 snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.

+GTK 1.2.6 or above is recommended although some programs 
+will work with GTK 1.2.3 onwards. There is now support
+for GTK 2.0.

 
 

-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.

-./configure --with-gtk

+
+In order to use wxGTK with GTK 2.0 you need to use --enable-gtk2
+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.

 
 

-When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
+Note that so far, support for GTK 2.0 has only been tested on
+Linux with glibc 2.2.
+
+
+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
