* The most simple case
-----------------------
i.e. if it says "--disable-threads" it means that threads
are enabled by default.
-Many of the confiugre options have been thoroughly tested
-in wxWindows snapshot 6, but not yet all (ODBC not).

Normally, you won't have to choose a toolkit, because when
you download wxGTK, it will default to --with-gtk etc. But
if you use all of our CVS repository you have to choose a
toolkit. You must do this by running configure with either of:
- --without-gtk Don't use the GIMP ToolKit (GTK)
+ --with-gtk Use the GIMP ToolKit (GTK). Default.
- --with-motif Use either Motif or Lesstif
- Configure will look for both.
+ --with-motif Use either Motif or Lesstif
+ Configure will look for both.
The following options handle the kind of library you want to build.
--disable-threads Compile without thread support.
- --disable-shared Do not create shared libraries.
-
- --enable-static Create static libraries.
+ --disable-shared Do not create shared libraries, but
+ build static libraries instead.
--disable-optimise Do not optimise the code. Can
sometimes be useful for debugging
- and is required on some architectures
- such as Sun with gcc 2.8.X which
- would otherwise produce segvs.

--enable-profile Add profiling info to the object
files. Currently broken, I think.
--enable-no_rtti Enable compilation without creation of
C++ RTTI information in object files.
- This will speed-up compilation and reduce
- binary size.

When producing an executable that is linked statically with wxGTK
you'll be surprised at its immense size. This can sometimes be
drastically reduced by removing features from wxWindows that
are not used in your program. The most relevant such features
are
+ --with-odbc Enables ODBC code. This is disabled
+ by default because iODBC is under the
+ L-GPL license.
+
--without-libpng Disables PNG image format code.
--without-libjpeg Disables JPEG image format code.
+ --without-libtiff Disables TIFF image format code.
+
--disable-pnm Disables PNM image format code.
--disable-gif Disables GIF image format code.
--disable-pcx Disables PCX image format code.
- --without-odbc Disables ODBC code.
+ --disable-iff Disables IFF image format code.
--disable-resources Disables the use of *.wxr type
resources.
1) The first way uses the installed libraries and header files
automatically using wx-config
-g++ myfoo.cpp `wx-config --libs` `wx-config --cflags` -o myfoo
+gcc myfoo.cpp `wx-config --cflags --libs` -o myfoo
Using this way, a make file for the minimal sample would look
like this
-CC = g++
+CC = gcc
minimal: minimal.o
$(CC) -o minimal minimal.o `wx-config --libs`
