Welcome to wxWindows/Gtk 2.1.14
you have downloaded a beta version of the GTK+ 1.2 port of
the wxWindows GUI library. Although this is not yet the
final stable release wxGTK 2.2, the current version has
been tested carefully on many systems and has been found
to work better than any other previous version.
This is the last beta release. wxWindows is now in a code
freeze and only bugs will be corrected.
wxWindows no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
GTK 1.2.6 is recommended although somw programs will work
with GTK 1.2.3 onwards.
More information is available from my homepage at:
http://wesley.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/~wxxt
and about the wxWindows project as a whole (and the MSW
and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's
homepage at:
http://www.wxwindows.org
Information on how to install can be found in the file
INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
many systems:
./configure --with-gtk
make
su <type root password>
make install
ldconfig
exit
When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
please send a bug report to one of our mailing list, INCLUDING
A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR
VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR
WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried...
The library produced by the install process will be called
libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.1.so.14.0.0 (shared) so
that once a binary incompatible version of wxWindows/Gtk comes
out we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking
problems.
Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
bug reports or comments to the wxWindows users list. Information
on how to subscribe is available from my homepage.
Do NOT send any comments directly to me.
wxWindows/Gtk doesn't come with any guarantee whatsoever. It
might crash your harddisk or destroy your monitor. It doesn't
claim to be suitable for any special or general purpose.
