Multilib build is the default. wxWidgets library is divided into libraries briefly described below. This diagram show dependencies between them: @dot digraph Dependancies { node [shape = ellipse, fontname = "Courier", fontsize = 10, style = filled]; wxBase [URL = "\ref page_libs_wxbase"]; wxCore [fillcolor = deepskyblue, URL = "\ref page_libs_wxcore"]; wxNet [fillcolor = deepskyblue, URL = "\ref page_libs_wxNet"]; wxXML [fillcolor = deepskyblue, URL = "\ref page_libs_wxxml"]; wxAdvanced [fillcolor = green, URL = "\ref page_libs_wxadv"]; wxAUI [fillcolor = green, URL = "\ref page_libs_wxaui"]; wxGL [fillcolor = green, URL = "\ref page_libs_wxgl"]; wxHTML [fillcolor = green, URL = "\ref page_libs_wxhtml"]; wxMedia [fillcolor = green, URL = "\ref page_libs_wxmedia"]; wxQA [fillcolor = green, URL = "\ref page_libs_wxqa"]; wxRichText [fillcolor = green, URL = "\ref page_libs_wxrichtext"]; wxSTC [fillcolor = green, URL = "\ref page_libs_wxstc"]; wxXRC [fillcolor = green, URL = "\ref page_libs_wxxrc"]; wxCore -> wxBase; wxNet -> wxBase; wxXML -> wxBase; wxAdvanced -> wxCore; wxAUI -> wxAdvanced; wxAUI -> wxHTML; wxAUI -> wxXML; wxGL -> wxCore; wxHTML -> wxCore; wxMedia -> wxCore; wxQA -> wxCore; wxQA -> wxXML; wxRichText -> wxAdvanced; wxRichText -> wxHTML; wxRichText -> wxXML; wxSTC -> wxCore; wxXRC -> wxAdvanced; wxXRC -> wxHTML; wxXRC -> wxXML; } @enddot Please note that arrows indicate the "depends from" relation and that all blue boxes depend on the @ref page_libs_wxbase library (i.e. they are non-GUI libraries), and all green boxes depend on the @ref page_libs_wxcore library (i.e. they are GUI libraries). @section page_libs_wxbase wxBase Every wxWidgets application must link against this library. It contains mandatory classes that any wxWidgets code depends on (e.g. 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. @section page_libs_wxcore wxCore Basic GUI classes such as GDI classes or controls are in this library. All wxWidgets GUI applications must link against this library, only console mode applications don't. Requires @ref page_libs_wxbase. @section page_libs_wxaui wxAui This contains the Advanced User Interface docking library. Requires @ref page_libs_wxadv, @ref page_libs_wxhtml, @ref page_libs_wxxml, @ref page_libs_wxcore, @ref page_libs_wxbase. @section page_libs_wxnet wxNet Classes for network access: @li wxSocket classes (wxSocketClient, wxSocketServer and related classes) @li wxSocketOutputStream and wxSocketInputStream @li sockets-based IPC classes (wxTCPServer, wxTCPClient and wxTCPConnection) @li wxURL @li wxInternetFSHandler (a wxFileSystem handler) Requires @ref page_libs_wxbase. @section page_libs_wxrichtext wxRichText This contains generic rich text control functionality. Requires @ref page_libs_wxadv, @ref page_libs_wxhtml, @ref page_libs_wxxml, @ref page_libs_wxcore, @ref page_libs_wxbase. @section page_libs_wxxml wxXML This library contains simple classes for parsing XML documents. Requires @ref page_libs_wxbase. @section page_libs_wxadv wxAdvanced Advanced or rarely used GUI classes: @li wxCalendarCtrl @li wxGrid classes @li wxJoystick @li wxLayoutAlgorithm @li wxSplashScreen @li wxTaskBarIcon @li wxSound @li wxWizard @li wxSashLayoutWindow @li wxSashWindow @li ...others Requires @ref page_libs_wxcore and @ref page_libs_wxbase. @section page_libs_wxmedia wxMedia Miscellaneous classes related to multimedia. Currently this library only contains wxMediaCtrl but more classes will be added in the future. Requires @ref page_libs_wxcore and @ref page_libs_wxbase. @section page_libs_wxgl wxGL This library contains wxGLCanvas class for integrating OpenGL library with wxWidgets. Unlike all others, this library is @b not part of the monolithic library, it is always built as separate library. Requires @ref page_libs_wxcore and @ref page_libs_wxbase. @section page_libs_wxhtml wxHTML Simple HTML renderer and other @ref overview_html are contained in this library, as well as wxHtmlHelpController, wxBestHelpController and wxHtmlListBox. Requires @ref page_libs_wxcore and @ref page_libs_wxbase. @section page_libs_wxqa wxQA This is the library containing extra classes for quality assurance. Currently it only contains wxDebugReport and related classes, but more will be added to it in the future. Requires @ref page_libs_wxxml, @ref page_libs_wxcore, @ref page_libs_wxbase. @section page_libs_wxxrc wxXRC This library contains wxXmlResource class that provides access to XML resource files in XRC format. Requires @ref page_libs_wxadv, @ref page_libs_wxhtml, @ref page_libs_wxxml, @ref page_libs_wxcore, @ref page_libs_wxbase. @section page_libs_wxstc wxSTC STC (Styled Text Control) is a wrapper around Scintilla, a syntax-highlighting text editor. See for more info about Scintilla. Requires @ref page_libs_wxcore, @ref page_libs_wxbase. */
