1\section{wxGTK port}\label{wxgtkport} 2 3wxGTK is a port of wxWidgets using the GTK+ library. 4It makes use of GTK+'s native widgets wherever possible and uses 5wxWidgets' generic controls when needed. GTK+ itself has been 6ported to a number of systems, but so far only the original X11 7version is supported. Support for other GTK+ backends is planned, 8such as the new DirectFB backend. 9 10All work is being done on GTK+ version 2.0 and above. Support for 11GTK+ 1.2 will be deprecated in a later release. 12 13You will need GTK+ 2.0 or higher which is available from: 14 15\urlref{http://www.gtk.org}{http://www.gtk.org} 16 17The newer version of GTK+ you use, the more native widgets and 18features will be utilized. We have gone to a great extent to 19allow compiling wxWidgets applications with a latest version of 20GTK+, with the resulting binary working on systems even with a 21much lower version of GTK+. You will have to ensure that the 22application is launched with lazy symbol binding for that. 23 24In order to configure wxWidgets to compile wxGTK you will 25need use the {\tt --with-gtk} argument to the {\tt configure} script. 26This is the default for many systems. 27 28GTK+ 1.2 can still be used, albeit discouraged. For that you can 29pass {\tt --with-gtk=1} to the {\tt configure} script. 30 31For further information, please see the files in docs/gtk 32in the distribution. 33 34
