What is wxWidgets ?
wxWidgets (formerly wxWindows) gives you a single, easy-to-use API for writing GUI applications on multiple platforms. Link with the appropriate library for your platform (Windows/Unix/Mac, others coming shortly) and compiler (almost any popular C++ compiler), and your application will adopt the look and feel appropriate to that platform. On top of great GUI functionality, wxWidgets gives you: online help, network programming, streams, clipboard and drag and drop, multithreading, image loading and saving in a variety of popular formats, database support, HTML viewing and printing, and much, much more.
Depending on the platform wxWidgets are running on and the libraries the application is going to be linked to, the following wxWidgets supports are available:
- wxMac: For MacOS X/Carbon, MacOS Classic
- wxCocoa: For MacOS X/Cocoa (Under development)
- wxX11: For XLib on Unix
- wxGTK: For GTK+ versions 1 and 2 on Unix
- wxQt: For Qt libraries on Unix (Under development)
- wxMSW: Windows (both 32 and 64 bits) and WinCE
- wxOS2: OS/2 support
- wxMGL: Using the multi-platform MGL library
- wxPython: For Python language support
- wxTCL: For TCL language support
To download the latest wxWidgets read this document.
Links in this wiki regarding wxWidgets:
- Manual wxWidgets compilation
- Check if wx is installed twice (since having it installed twice is a common source of compilation problems)
- How to uninstall wxWidgets
NOTE: aMule is a separate project and is not realated to wxWidgets in any way (apart from using it as it's widgets library).
