wxWindows 2.0 ------------- Welcome to wxWindows 2.0, a sophisticated cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using (where possible) the native controls. In addition to common and advanced GUI facilities such as frames, scrolling windows, toolbars, tree controls, icons, device contexts, printing, splitter windows and so on, there are wrappers for common file operations and facilities for writing TCP/IP applications. Where certain features are not available on a platform, such as MDI and tree controls on Unix, they are emulated. A detailed 700-page reference manual is supplied in HTML, PDF and Windows Help form. Platforms supported ------------------- wxWindows 2.0 currently supports the following platforms: - Windows 3.1, Windows 95/98, Windows NT - Unix with Motif/Lesstif - Unix with GTK+ Files ----- Depending on what you downloaded, you may have one or more of these ports. You may unarchive any or all of the ports into the same directory hierarchy. The zip archive set comprises the following: wx200gen.zip Generic source code and samples (required) wx200msw.zip Windows-specific source code wx200mot.zip Motif-specific source code wx200gtk.zip GTK-specific source code wx200doc.zip Documentation source code (not required) wx200hlp.zip WinHelp documentation wx200pdf.zip Acrobat PDF documentation wx200htm.zip HTML documentation wx200vc.zip MS VC++ 5.0 project files wx200cw.zip Metrowerks CodeWarrior project files Installation ------------ wxWindows 2.0 needs to be compiled before you can test out the samples or write your own applications. For installation information, please see the install.txt file in the individual directories: docs/msw docs/gtk docs/motif Licence information ------------------- For licensing information, please see the files: docs/preamble.txt docs/licence.txt docs/licendoc.txt docs/gpl.txt docs/lgpl.txt Although this may seem complex, it is there to allow authors of proprietary/commercial applications to use wxWindows in addition to those writing GPL'ed applications. In summary, the licence is L-GPL plus a clause allowing unrestricted distribution of application binaries. To answer a FAQ, you don't have to distribute any source if you wish to write commercial applications using wxWindows. Documentation ------------- See docs/changes.txt for a history of changes to wxWindows 2.0. See docs/html/index.htm for an HTML index of the major documents. The Windows help files are located in docs/winhelp. The PDF help files are located in docs/pdf. Further information ------------------- The wxWindows Web site is located at: http://wxwin.home.ml.org The wxGTK Web site (with further wxGTK-specific fiels and information) is located at: http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~wxxt The main wxWindows ftp site is at: ftp://www.remstar.com/pub/wxwin A wxWindows CD-ROM with the latest distribution plus an HTML front-end and hundreds of MB of compilers, utilities and other material may be ordered from the CD-ROM page: http://wxwin.home.ml.org/cdrom or contact Julian Smart <julian.smart@ukonline.co.uk>.
