Simple and portable (but not inflexible) GUI library in C that uses the native GUI technologies of each platform it supports.

I'm puzzled, can your library be interfaced with Freebasic? Is there some screenshot of how it looks like on windows for instance? But of course my first concern would be the question about interfacing with fb.

[edit] Ok I've found some screenshots. And seems not to be any binding for FB in the list...

There shouldn't be any difficulties in creating FB headers as it is a C library (and not C++ or any other higher-level language).

Unforyunately, I'm not 100% sure, but it seems that 32bits systems won't be able to compile this. This is not mentionned very clearly but those days I know that people tends to take little care of 32bits compatibility.
