+Installing wxBase 2.2
+---------------------
+
+This is wxBase 2.2 for Microsoft Windows 9x/NT/2000 and generic Unix
+platforms. wxBase is a collection of non GUI classes, functions and macros
+used by wxWindows framework.
+
+It contains several data structure classes (as wxWindows predates STL, it has
+its own string, list, array, hash table, ... classes and also a powerful
+wxDateTime class), OS-abstraction classes (wxThread, wxSocket, wxStopWatch &c)
+and a few more utility classes (wxCmdLineParser, wxConfig for working with
+.INI and other configuration files, wxDllLoader for run-time binding and much
+more).
+
+Compilation
+-----------
+
+a) under Win32 with Visual C++: open the provided wxBase.dsw workspace. From
+   it, you can build wxBase as a static library and/or as a DLL. Please see
+
+            http://zeitlin.online.fr/wxWindows/buildmsw.html
+
+   for the instructions on how to use wxBase in your own projects. You can
+   also download the precompiled binaries from
+
+            http://zeitlin.online.fr/wxWindows/binaries.html
+
+   NB: it should be possible to compile wxBase with other compilers as well,
+       if you managed to do this, please let me know so that your makefiles
+       could be included in the next distribution.
+
+b) under Unix/BeOS: use configure with --disable-gui argument. Building wxBase
+   in a separate directory is recommended, i.e.:
+
+        $ gunzip -c wxBase-x.y.z.tar.gz | tar xvf -
+        $ cd wxBase-x.y.z
+
+        # assuming you want to build the debug version of the library
+        $ mkdir debug
+        $ cd debug
+        $ ../configure --disable-gui --enable-debug
+
+        # if you want to build the release version:
+        $ mkdir release
+        $ cd release
+        $ ../configure --disable-gui
+
+        # in both cases
+        $ make && make install
+
+    Under most modern Unices you can specify --disable-static option to
+configure to avoid building the static libraries (but only the shared ones) to
+save some time and disk space.
+
+Problems
+--------
+
+If you encounter problems or bugs, please report them to
+wx-users@wxwindows.org mailing list. Be sure to mention your platform, wxBase
+version and the compiler information. Thanks!
