Note that if you +compile wxWidgets against GTK+ 2.8 your app will still work +with older GTK+ version down to version 2.4 as wxWidgets +tests for the presence of newer features at run-time and it +will fall back to a generic implementation if these features +are not present in the GTK+ version used. + +wxWidgets 2.8 still supports GTK+ 1.2, but no developement +is done on that port anymore and support for GTK+ 1.2 will +probably be dropped entirely. Indeed, one of the major steps +in the developement cycle leading up to wxWidgets 2.8 was +that the codebase for GTK+ 1.2 and GTK+ 2.0 were separated +so that improvements and clean-ups to the GTK+ 2.0 port +could be done without caring for GTK+ 1.2. + +More info about the wxWidgets project (including all the +other ports and version of wxWidgets) can be found at the +main wxWidgets 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 -all systems - -./configure -make -make install - -Type the following to make the samples - -make samples - -To start the samples, change into the directory that -corresponds to the sample and your system, e.g on a -linux-gnu machine the minimal sample would get started -from the wxWindows base dir with - -./samples/minimal/linux-gnu/minimal - -When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and +many systems: + + mkdir build_gtk + cd build_gtk + ../configure + make + su + make install + ldconfig + +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.
