WxWidgets Build Libraries

From WxWiki

The wxWidgets library is divided into the libraries described below. This diagram shows the dependencies between some of them:

wxBase	Every wxWidgets application must link against this library. It contains mandatory classes that any wxWidgets code depends on (e.g. wxString) and portability classes that abstract differences between platforms. wxBase can be used to develop console mode applications, it does not require any GUI libraries or running X Window System on Unix.
wxCore	Basic GUI classes such as GDI classes or controls are in this library. All wxWidgets GUI applications must link against this library, only console mode applications don't.
wxXRC	This library contains wxXmlResource class that provides access to XML resource files in XRC format.
wxXML	This library contains simple classes for parsing XML documents. Note that their API will change in the future and backward compatibility will not be preserved. Use of this library in your applications is not recommended, it is only meant for use by XML resources system. Future versions of wxWidgets will contain new XML handling classes with DOM-like API.
wxNet	Classes for network access: wxSocket classes (wxSocketClient, wxSocketServer and related classes), wxSocketOutputStream and wxSocketInputStream, sockets-based IPC classes (wxTCPServer, wxTCPClient and wxTCPConnection), wxURL, wxInternetFSHandler (a wxFileSystem handler).
wxAui	This contains the Advanced User Interface docking library.
wxRichText	This contains generic rich text control functionality.
wxAdvanced	Advanced or rarely used GUI classes: wxBufferedDC, wxCalendarCtrl, wxGrid classes, wxJoystick, wxLayoutAlgorithm, wxSplashScreen, wxTaskBarIcon, wxSound, wxWizard, wxSashLayoutWindow, wxSashWindow.
wxGL	This library contains wxGLCanvas class for integrating OpenGL library with wxWidgets. Unlike all others, this library is not part of the monolithic library, it is always built as separate library.
wxHTML	Simple HTML renderer and other HTML rendering classes are contained in this library, as well as wxHtmlHelpController, wxBestHelpController and wxHtmlListBox.
wxODBC	Database classes. Note: wxODBC has been removed from wxWidgets for versions later than 2.8; see ODBC for more info.
wxDbGrid	wxDbGridTableBase class which combines wxGrid and wxDbTable.
wxMedia	Miscellaneous classes related to multimedia. Currently this library only contains wxMediaCtrl but more classes will be added in the future.
wxQA	This is the library containing extra classes for quality assurance. Currently it only contains wxDebugReport and related classes, but more will be added to it in the future.

In addition, these external libraries ship with wxWidgets (each release under different license):

expat	Alternative XML parser
jpeg	JPEG support (image format).
png	PNG support (image format).
tiff	TIFF support (image format).
zlib	ZIP support (data compression).
regex	Modified Tcl (scripting language).
