+   Welcome to wxWidgets 2.7.2 for GTK+
+   -----------------------------------
 
-   Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.5
+You have downloaded version 2.7 of the GTK+ port of the 
+wxWidgets GUI library.
 
-You have downloaded version 2.5 of the GTK port of the 
-wxWindows 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+ 2.4.x and even
+GTK 2.8.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.
-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.

+other ports and version of wxWidgets) can be found at the

 Information on how to install can be found in the file 
 INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
 many systems:
 
-    mkdir gtk
-    cd gtk
-    ../configure --with-gtk
+    mkdir build_gtk
+    cd build_gtk
+    ../configure
     make
     su <type root password>
     make install
     ldconfig
 
-In order to use wxGTK with GTK 2.0 you need to use --enable-gtk2
+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.
 
-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
