README for MinGW Windows ToolKit
Written by Keith Marshall keithmarshall@users.sourceforge.net Copyright (C) 2012, MinGW.org Project
Synopsis
This package implements a minimal C++ class framework, encapsulating the MS-Windows API. It has been developed to facilitate implementation of the GUI components of mingw-get; as such, it does not aim to provide a fully featured API class framework, but rather, it is restricted to providing only those features which are necessary for mingw-get.
It may be extended in the future, as the need arises.

Building from a Source TarBall
This package is delivered in source format, suitable for building in accordance with the standard GNU paradigm; building out-of-source, (or in a subdirectory of the source tree), is recommended:--
tar xf wtk-<version>-mingw32-src.tar.gz
mkdir wtk-<version>/build
cd wtk-<version>/build
../configure
make
make install
Building from SCM Repository
If the source code has been obtained from MinGW.org's git repository, it will be necessary to also source the build-aux module from this repository, and link, (or copy), the install-sh file into the top source directory of the WTK tree. Then, cd to the top of the WTK tree, and proceed:--
autoconf
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
make install
