 If you compile wxWindows on Linux for the first time and don't like to read 
 install instructions just do (in the base dir):
 
-./configure
-make
-su <type root password>
-make install
-ldconfig
-exit
+> ./configure --with-gtk
+> make
+> su <type root password>
+> make install
+> ldconfig
+> exit
 
-On all other Unices (maybe except *BSD), shared libraries are not supported
-out of the box due to the utter stupidity of libtool, so you'll have to do
-this instead:
+On all variants of Unix except Linux (and maybe except *BSD), shared libraries 
+are not supportet out of the box due to the utter stupidity of libtool, so you'll 
+have to do this to get shared library support:
 
-./configure --enable-static --disable-shared
-make
-su <type root password>
-make install
-ldconfig
-exit
+> ./configure --with-gtk --disable-static --enable-shared
+
+Then you'll have to edit the wrongly created libtool script. There are two
+important entries with respect to shared library creation, which are
 
-You may also want to try to edit the wrongly created libtool script
-in your build directory, if you need shared libraries on Unix. The
-wrong entries are something like
   archive_cmds="\$LD -shared ....
   archive_expsym_cmds="\$LD -shared ....
+  
 which should be something like
+
   archive_cmds="\$CC -shared ....
   archive_expsym_cmds="\$CC -shared ....
+  
+Afterwards you can continue with
+

 If you want to remove wxWindows on Unix you can do this:
 
-su <type root password>
-make uninstall
-ldconfig
-exit
+> su <type root password>
+> make uninstall
+> ldconfig
+> exit
