2  Welcome to wxWidgets/X11
3
4You have downloaded the X11 port of the wxWidgets GUI library.
5This runs on X11 with no Motif, Xt, GTK+ or any other standard
6widget set -- instead it uses the wxUniversal widgets. The
7intention is to have it run on NanoX as well as desktop X11.

9More information about the wxWidgets project as a whole
10can be found at:
11
12  http://www.wxwidgets.org
13  
14Information on how to install can be found in the file 
15install.txt, but if you cannot wait, this should work on
16many systems:
17
18./configure --with-x11 --disable-shared --enable-log --enable-debug -without-odbc --enable-debug_cntxt
19
20make
21su <type root password>
22make install
23ldconfig
24exit
25
26When you run into problems, please read the install.txt and
27follow those instructions. If you still don't have any success,
28please send a bug report to one of our mailing lists (see
29the wxWidgets homepage) INCLUDING A DESCRIPTION OF YOUR SYSTEM AND
30YOUR PROBLEM, SUCH AS YOUR VERSION OF X, WHAT DISTRIBUTION YOU USE
31AND WHAT ERROR WAS REPORTED. Alternatively, you may also use the bug
32reporting system linked from the wxWidgets web page.
33
34The library produced by the install process will be called 
35libwx_x11univ[d].a (static) and libwx_x11univ[d]-2.3.so.0.0.0
36(shared) so that once a binary incompatible version of
37wxWidgets/X11 comes out we'll augment the library version number
38to avoid linking problems.
39
40Please send problems concerning installation, feature requests, 
41bug reports or comments to the wxWidgets users list. Information 
42on how to subscribe is available from www.wxwidgets.org.
