-   Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1.13
+   Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.5
 
-you have downloaded a beta version 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.
-
-Nonetheless, beware that minor changes can happen before 
-a final release.
+You have downloaded version 2.5 of the GTK port of the 
+wxWindows GUI library.
 
 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 is recommended although many programs will work
-with GTK 1.2.3 onwards.

-More information is available from my homepage at:
+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.

 Information on how to install can be found in the file 
 INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
 many systems:
 
-./configure --with-gtk
-make
-su <type root password>
-make install
-ldconfig
-exit
+    mkdir gtk
+    cd gtk
+    ../configure --with-gtk
+    make
+    su <type root password>
+    make install
+    ldconfig
+
+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.
+
+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 
 follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
