GUI builder for Linux?

[lizard]

Maybe i should do more with XML and gtk-builder. It has one advantage: compatibility. The XML files can be used with every other programming language. After all it is ones own choice if he wants to invest a little more time to learn gtk. glade and XML, wx-c or fltk-c. These are the best alternatives i know.

Thats right. The problem is, you have to figure out which signals to connect with which callbacks and therefore always switch between Geany and Glade. Later the problem arises how to set the start value for every widget. Then after the Gui is connected to get the resulting variables out of the widgets. All that must be done in callbacks and you always have to switch between Geany and Glade. ...

That's the main purpose of GladeToBac (https://www.freebasic-portal.de/downloa ... c-190.html). It auto-creates matching FB source code from Glade-XML (main frame, but also callbacks).

TJF's code generator is outdated. It requires old libraries that are not included (anymore) in the dlownload. Even if you manage to get it running, it will generate code that is largely deprecated.

Nonsens! By default it generates up-to-date GtkBuilder code (but can still handle deprecated libglade code).
