Note that if you +compile wxWidgets against GTK+ 2.8 your app will still work +with older GTK+ version down to version 2.2 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/ -you have downloaded the first beta version of the upcoming -release 2.0 of the GTK+ 1.0 port of wxWindows library. - Information on how to install can be found in the file INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on -all systems +many systems: + + mkdir build_gtk + cd build_gtk + ../configure + make + su + make install + ldconfig -configure -make -su (PASSWORD) -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. -When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and +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.
