+Starting from version 2.5.0 wxWindows can be built either as a single large
+library (this is called the {\it monolithic build}) or as several smaller
+libraries ({\it multilib build}). Multilib build is the default.
+
+wxWindows library is divided into following libraries:
+
+{\large {\bf wxBase}}
+
+Every wxWindows application must link against this library. It contains
+mandatory classes that any wxWindows code depends on (e.g.
+\helpref{wxString}{wxstring}) and portability classes that abstract
+differences between platforms. wxBase can be used to develop console mode
+applications, it does not require any GUI libraries or running X Window System
+on Unix.
+
+{\large {\bf wxNet}}
+
+Classes for network access:
+wxSocket classes (\helpref{wxSocketClient}{wxsocketclient},
+\helpref{wxSocketServer}{wxsocketserver} and related classes),
+\helpref{wxSocketOutputStream}{wxsocketoutputstream},
+\helpref{wxSocketInputStream}{wxsocketinputstream},
+sockets-based IPC classes (\helpref{wxTCPServer}{wxddeserver},
+\helpref{wxTCPClient}{wxddeclient} and
+\helpref{wxTCPConnection}{wxddeconnection}),
+\helpref{wxURL}{wxurl},
+wxInternetFSHandler (a \helpref{wxFileSystem handler}{fs}).
+Requires wxBase.
+
+{\large {\bf wxXML}}
+
+This library contains simple classes for parsing XML documents. Note that
+their API {\em will} change in the future and backward
+compatibility will not be preserved. Use of this library in your applications
+is not recommended, it is only meant for use by XML resources system. Future
+versions of wxWindows will contain new XML handling classes with DOM-like API.
+Requires wxBase.
+
+{\large {\bf wxODBC}}
+
+\helpref{Database classes}{odbcoverview}. Requires wxBase.
+
+{\large {\bf wxCore}}
+
+Basic GUI classes such as GDI classes or controls are in this library. All
+wxWindows GUI applications must link against this library, only console mode
+applications don't.
+
+{\large {\bf wxAdvanced}}
+
+More advanced or rarely used GUI classes are in this library.
+Requires wxCore and wxBase.
+
+{\large {\bf wxGL}}
+
+This library contains \helpref{wxGLCanvas}{wxglcanvas} class for integrating
+OpenGL library with wxWindows. Unlike all other, this library is {\em not}
+part of the monolithic library, it is always built as separate library.
+Requires wxCore and wxBase.
+
+{\large {\bf wxHTML}}
+
+Simple HTML renderer and other \helpref{HTML rendering classes}{wxhtml} are
+contained in this library, as well as
+\helpref{wxHtmlHelpController}{wxhtmlhelpcontroller},
+\helpref{wxBestHelpController}{wxhelpcontroller} and
+\helpref{wxHtmlListBox}{wxhtmllistbox}. Requires wxCore and wxBase.
