Welcome to wxWidgets for GTK+
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
You have downloaded the GTK+ port of the wxWidgets GUI library.
|
|
|
|
It is required to use at least GTK+ 2.6 and some features are
|
|
only available when using GTK+ 2.10 or higher. Note that even if
|
|
you compile wxWidgets against a later GTK+ version, your application
|
|
will still work with older GTK+ version down to version 2.6 as wxWidgets
|
|
tests for the presence of newer features at run-time and it
|
|
will fall back to a generic implementation if these features
|
|
are not present in the GTK+ version used.
|
|
|
|
wxWidgets 2.9.4 adds support for GTK+ 3, which can be enabled
|
|
with configure option --with-gtk=3.
|
|
|
|
wxWidgets 2.8 still supports GTK+ 1.2, but no development
|
|
is done on that port anymore and support for GTK+ 1.2 will
|
|
probably be dropped entirely. Indeed, one of the major steps
|
|
in the development cycle leading up to wxWidgets 2.8 was
|
|
that the codebase for GTK+ 1.2 and GTK+ 2.0 were separated
|
|
so that improvements and clean-ups to the GTK+ 2.0 port
|
|
could be done without caring for GTK+ 1.2.
|
|
|
|
More info about the wxWidgets project (including all the
|
|
other ports and version of wxWidgets) can be found at the
|
|
main wxWidgets homepage at:
|
|
|
|
http://www.wxwidgets.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:
|
|
|
|
mkdir build_gtk
|
|
cd build_gtk
|
|
../configure
|
|
make
|
|
su <type root password>
|
|
make install
|
|
ldconfig
|
|
|
|
In order to use wxGTK with GTK 1.2 you need to use --with-gtk=1
|
|
configure option. To build the library in Unicode mode (all
|
|
strings will be wide strings and so on) you need to configure
|
|
with GTK 2.0 and add --enable-unicode.
|
|
|
|
Please note that it is strongly advised to build the library in
|
|
a separate directory, as shown above, as it allows you to have
|
|
different builds of it (for example with and without debug) in
|
|
parallel. If you build in the source directory, don't forget to
|
|
do "make clean" before changing the configuration!
|
|
|
|
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...
|
|
|
|
Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests,
|
|
bug reports or comments to the wxWidgets users list. These can
|
|
be found at http://www.wxwidgets.org and more specifically at
|
|
http://lists.wxwidgets.org.
