You have downloaded version 2.8 of the GTK+ port of the
wxWidgets GUI library.
wxWidgets no longer supports GTK 1.0.x (as did some early
snapshots) and support for GTK 1.2.x will be phased out
over time. Nearly all work is now done on GTK 2.0.x and
quite a few of the enhancements of GTK+ 2.4.x and even
GTK 2.8.x are used.
It is recommended to use at least GTK+ 2.2.3 to get the
most out of wxWidgets and some features are only available
when using GTK+ 2.4 or even from GTK+ 2.8. Note that if you
compile wxWidgets against GTK+ 2.8 your app will still work
with older GTK+ version down to version 2.2 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 2.8 still supports GTK+ 1.2, but no developement
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 developement 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.
