These examples are provided as extended documentation for the wxWidgets package. If you wish to actually run them rather than just browse them as documents you should copy them into a working directory elsewhere first. Note that some of them will attempt to write to the current working directory, or to the home directory of the user they are run as. The examples provided here typically show a minimal implementation of the feature(s) they are demonstrating. There are examples of more complete (mini) applications, available in the /demos directories of the wxWidgets repository), or of course you can always apt-get the source of any wx using package for some less contrived examples of real world wx applications.
