\section{wxWidgets requirements}\label{requirements}
To make use of wxWidgets, you currently need one of the following setups.
port), Borland C++, Watcom C++, Cygwin, MinGW, Metrowerks CodeWarrior,
Digital Mars C++. See {\tt install.txt} for details about compiler
version supported.
-\item At least 100 MB of disk space for source tree and additional space for
-libraries and application building (depends on compiler and build settings).
\end{enumerate}
(b) Unix:
\begin{enumerate}\itemsep=0pt
-\item Almost any C++ compiler, including GNU C++ (EGCS 1.1.1 or above).
-\item Almost any Unix workstation, and one of: GTK+ 1.2, GTK+ 2.0, Motif 1.2 or higher, Lesstif.
-If using the wxX11 port, no such widget set is required.
-\item At least 100 MB of disk space for source tree and additional space for
-libraries and application building (depends on compiler and build settings).
+\item Almost any C++ compiler, including GNU C++ and many Unix vendors
+compilers such as Sun CC, HP-UX aCC or SGI mipsPro.
+\item Almost any Unix workstation, and one of: GTK+ 2.4 or higher (GTK+ 1.2.10
+may still be supported but wxGTK1 port is not maintained any longer and lacks
+many features of wxGTK2), Motif 1.2 or higher or Lesstif. If using the wxX11
+port, no such widget set is required.
\end{enumerate}
(c) Mac OS/Mac OS X:
\begin{enumerate}\itemsep=0pt
-\item A PowerPC Mac running Mac OS 8.6/9.x (eg. Classic) or Mac OS X 10.x.
-\item CodeWarrior 5.3, 6 or 7 for Classic Mac OS.
-\item The Apple Developer Tools (eg. GNU C++), CodeWarrior 7 or above for Mac OS X.
-\item At least 100 MB of disk space for source tree and additional space for
-libraries and application building (depends on compiler and build settings).
+\item A PowerPC or Intel Mac running Mac OS X 10.3 or higher
+\item The Apple Developer Tools (eg. GNU C++) or MetroWerks CodeWarrior (not
+actively supported)
\end{enumerate}
+Under all platforms it's recommended to have large amounts of free hard disk
+space. The exact amount needed depends on the port, compiler and build
+configurations but to give an example, a debug build of the library may take up
+to 500MB.
