Unarchiving -============================================================ +=========== -A setup program is provided (wxMSW-x.x.x-setup.exe) to automatically copy -files to a directory on your hard disk. Do not install into a -path that contains spaces. +Please simply uncompress the .zip file manually into any directory. +However we advise avoiding using directories with spaces in their +names (notably "C:\Program Files") as this risks creating problems +with makefiles and other command-line tools. -The setup program contains the following: -- All common, generic and MSW-specific wxWidgets source; -- samples and demos; -- documentation in MS HTML Help format; -- makefiles for most Windows compilers, plus CodeWarrior - and VC++ IDE files; -- JPEG, TIFF, PNG, ZLIB, wxSTC, REGEX, EXPAT library sources. +Configuration +============= -Alternatively, you may unarchive the .zip form by hand: -wxMSW-x.y.z.zip where x.y.z is the version number. +In the majority of cases, you don't need to change the default +library build configuration.
