Wxbase is a collection of c++ classes providing basic data structures (strings, lists, arrays), powerful wxdatetime class for date manipulations, portable wrappers around many os-specific functions allowing the same program to work for all supported platforms, wxthread class for writing multithreaded programs, and much more.

wxbase currently supports the following platforms: generic unix (linux, freebsd, solaris, hp-ux, ...), microsoft windows, and mac os x.

this package is only useful for non-gui apps. it offers a subset of the classes in libwx_gtk3.0 for use in console apps and daemons. you do not need this package to build or use wxwidgets gui apps.
