Note that if you +compile wxWidgets against GTK+ 2.8 your app will still work +with older GTK+ version down to version 2.6 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. -configure --without-threads -make -su (PASSWORD) -make install +wxWidgets 2.9.4 adds support for GTK+ 3, which can be enabled +with configure option --with-gtk=3.

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 information is available from my homepage at +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://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt + 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: + + 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.
