Obtaining the wxWidgets Library

If you don't already use wxWidgets you will probably need to download the wxWidgets library. This comes as a stable series (2.4.x versions) detailed here, and a development series, 2.5 (see 2.5 page)

The current version of wxHatch is designed to use the wxWidgets 2.4.2 stable release. You can get the files you need for your platform from http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.4.2/ - they are available in several formats including the following:

MSWindows: 95/98/ME/XP/2000


Linux/Solaris (and other UNIX)

Note
After extracting the downloaded files, you will probably end up with a wxWindows-2.4.2 directory. You may like to rename the directory to wxWidgets. These help pages assume that you have done this and the files are in wxWidgets,but if your files are in another directory, just substitute its name in the documentation.
CVS copy of the wxWidgets Library
You may like to get the latest stable version of wxWidgets from the CVS repository. You need to retrieve the WX_2_4_BRANCH tag as this will provide the next stable release of the wxWidgets library.  On a Unix platform:
    cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.wxwidgets.org:/pack/cvsroots/wxwidgets login
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.wxwidgets.org:/pack/cvsroots/wxwidgets checkout
-r WX_2_4_BRANCH wxWidgets
You will also need to download the wxWidgets documentation from wxWidgets-2.4.2-HTB.zip
