* The most simple errors
------------------------
For any configure errors: please look at config.log file which was generated
during configure run, it usually contains some useful information.
configure reports, that you don't have GTK 1.2 installed although you are
very sure you have. Well, you have installed it, but you also have another
version of the GTK installed, which you may need to remove including other
versions of glib (and its headers). Also, look for the PATH variable and check
if it includes the path to the correct gtk-config! The check your LDPATH if it
points to the correct library. There is no way to compile wxGTK if configure
doesn't pass this test as all this test does is compile and link a GTK program.
versions of glib (and its headers). Or maybe you installed it in non default
location and configure can't find it there, so please check that your PATH
variable includes the path to the correct gtk-config. Also check that your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent variable contains the path to GTK+ libraries if
they were installed in a non default location.
You get errors during compilation: The reason is that you probably have a broken
compiler, which includes almost everything that is called gcc. If you use gcc 2.8
you have to disable optimsation as the compiler will give up with an internal
compiler error.
You get errors from make: please use GNU make instead of the native make
program. Currently wxWindows can be built only with GNU make, BSD make and
Solaris make. Other versions might work or not (any which don't have VPATH
support definitely won't).
If there is just any way for you to use egcs, use egcs. We cannot fix gcc.
You get errors during compilation: The reason is that you probably have a
broken compiler, which includes a lot of old gcc versions. In particular, if
you use gcc 2.8 you have to disable optimsation as the compiler will give up
with an internal compiler error.
You get immediate segfault when starting any sample or application: This is either
due to having compiled the library with different flags or options than your program -
typically you might have the __WXDEBUG__ option set for the library but not for your
program - or due to using a broken compiler (and its optimisation) such as GCC 2.8.

The basic philosophy is that if you want to use different
configurations, like a debug and a release version,
or use the same source tree on different systems,
you have only to change the environment variable OSTYPE.
(Sadly this variable is not set by default on some systems
in some shells - on SGI's for example). So you will have to
set it there. This variable HAS to be set before starting
configure, so that it knows which system it tries to
configure for.
Configure will complain if the system variable OSTYPE has
not been defined. And Make in some circumstances as well...
It is recommended to build wxWindows in another directory (maybe a
subdirectory of your wxWindows installation) as this allows you to
have multiple configurations (for example, debug and release or GTK
and Motif) simultaneously.
