+   Welcome to wxWidgets 2.7.2 for GTK+
+   -----------------------------------
 
-  Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1 snapshot 9,
+You have downloaded version 2.7 of the GTK+ port of the 
+wxWidgets GUI library.
 
-you have downloaded version 2.1 of the GTK+ 1.2 port of 
-the wxWindows GUI library. This is a developers release
-and is it not suited for production development. 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+ 2.4.x and even
+GTK 2.8.x are used.
 
-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 info about the wxWidgets project (including all the
+other ports and version of wxWidgets) can be found at the
+main wxWidgets homepage at:
 
-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
-Windows and Motif ports in particular) can be found
-at Julian Smart's homepage at:

+                  http://www.wxwidgets.org/
   
 Information on how to install can be found in the file 
 INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
-many systems (when using GTK 1.0 or when not using Linux
-read the INSTALL.txt):
+many systems:
 
-./configure
-make
-su <type root password>
-make install
-ldconfig
-exit
+    mkdir build_gtk
+    cd build_gtk
+    ../configure
+    make
+    su <type root password>
+    make install
+    ldconfig
 
-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...
+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.
+
+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.
