Welcome to wxWidgets/Gtk 2.4
|
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
you have downloaded version 2.4 of the GTK port of the
|
| 5 |
wxWidgets GUI library.
|
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
wxWidgets no longer supports GTK 1.0 (as did some early
|
| 8 |
snapshots) so that you will need GTK 1.2 when using it.
|
| 9 |
GTK 1.2.6 or above is recommended although some programs
|
| 10 |
will work with GTK 1.2.3 onwards. There is now support
|
| 11 |
for GTK 2.0.
|
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
More info about the wxWidgets project (and the Windows
|
| 14 |
and Motif ports in particular) can be found at Julian's
|
| 15 |
homepage at:
|
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
http://www.wxwidgets.org
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Information on how to install can be found in the file
|
| 20 |
INSTALL.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
|
| 21 |
many systems:
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
./configure --with-gtk
|
| 24 |
make
|
| 25 |
su <type root password>
|
| 26 |
make install
|
| 27 |
ldconfig
|
| 28 |
exit
|
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
In order to use wxGTK with GTK 2.0 and its unicode
|
| 31 |
support, you need to configure
|
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
./configure --with-gtk --enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode
|
| 34 |
etc.
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
So far, support for GTK 2.0 has only been tested on
|
| 37 |
Linux with glibc 2.2.
|
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
When you run into problems, please read the INSTALL.txt and
|
| 40 |
follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
|
| 41 |
please send a bug report to one of our mailing list, INCLUDING
|
| 42 |
A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR
|
| 43 |
VERSION OF GTK, WXGTK, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE AND WHAT ERROR
|
| 44 |
WAS REPORTED. I know this has no effect, but I tried...
|
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
The library produced by the install process will be called
|
| 47 |
libwx_gtk.a (static) and libwx_gtk-2.2.so.0.0.0 (shared) so
|
| 48 |
that once a binary incompatible version of wxWidgets/Gtk comes
|
| 49 |
out we'll augment the library version number to avoid linking
|
| 50 |
problems.
|
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
|
| 53 |
bug reports or comments to the wxWidgets users list. Information
|
| 54 |
on how to subscribe is available from my homepage.
|
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Do NOT send any comments directly to me.
