-   Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1.11
+   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.
+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. 

 
 

-wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
-snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
+More info about the wxWidgets project (including all the
+other ports and version of wxWidgets) can be found at the
+main wxWidgets homepage at:

 
 

-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

+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.
+
+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!

 
 

-The library produced by the install process will be called 
-libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.so.0.0.0 (shared) so that 
-once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes out 
-we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking problems.
