Welcome to the latest development release of wxWidgets, a free and open source
cross-platform C++ framework for writing advanced GUI applications using native
controls.
wxWidgets allows you to write native-looking GUI applications for
all the major desktop platforms and also helps with abstracting
the differences in the non-GUI aspects between them. It is free
for the use in both open source and commercial applications, comes
with the full, easy to read and modify, source and extensive
documentation and a collection of more than a hundred examples.

wxWidgets is distributed in source form in several archive formats.
ZIP and 7z archives are for Microsoft Windows users and contain the
files with DOS/Windows line endings while the compressed tar archives
for Unix systems users (including OS X) and contain the files with
Unix line endings. Please notice that some Windows tools still don't
accept files with Unix line endings and that compiling sources with
DOS line endings under Unix will fail, so please choose the correct

In addition to the sources, documentation in HTML, CHM and HTB
(wxWidgets help viewer) formats is provided as well as an installer
for Microsoft Windows. Notice that you will still need to compile
wxWidgets even when using the installer.

We also supply binaries of wxMSW libraries built with several
versions of Microsoft Visual C++ and GNU g++ compiler for this
release. They are available in the "binaries" subdirectory, see

Installation
------------
Unless you have downloaded the binaries for your compiler, you
will need to build wxWidgets before you can test out the samples
or write your own applications. For installation information,
please see the install.txt file in the docs subdirectory
appropriate for the platform you use.

Although this may seem complex, it is there to allow authors of
proprietary/commercial applications to use wxWidgets in addition
to those writing GPL'ed applications. In summary, the licence is
LGPL plus a clause allowing unrestricted distribution of
application binaries. To answer a FAQ, you don't have to
distribute any source if you wish to write commercial
applications using wxWidgets.
