Bad situation for portable GUI's?
(sorry bad english)
If we will an GUI that looks same on WINDOWS and Linux too GTK is an solution but it exist most on Linux and it's a very big package and it is not an user friendly thing to say you must install the right GTK libs under your OS.
If i look for all the free GUI libs there are most for C++.
My question.
Exist an other/shorter FREE C GUI Lib with the way for static linking.
all a nice time.

There's always:
wxWidgets http://www.wxwindows.org/
or the QT library http://www.trolltech.com/products/qt/

i know but has you found an C++ wrapper for it ?

EDIT: QT is lager than GTK and C++ too. An comercial product only free for privat using.

wxBasic is written primarily in C, with some C++ linking it to the wxWindows library.
Joshy
FreeBASIC need libs in C or an C++ wrapper. If any lib is in C we can port the header files to FreeBASIC.
You understood my question ?MystikShadows wrote:not for freebasic no, it would be quite a choir to achieve too. They do have what they call wxBasic which might be a good starting point.

I wasn't not realy shure my english is bad and your answer's is not an help if you post C++ links and i'm serching shorter !!!FREE!!! C libs for !!!STATIC!!! linking.MystikShadows wrote:ohhhhhhhh....I didn't understand no :-) obviously by my not too intelligent responce :-).
Aside gtk, I'm not sure which libraries' headers can be ported, not sure which of them have headers :-).
Don't be wrong trust me it is my bad english not an attack on your intelligence.
Have a nice time.

Well, there's IUP, the headers were included in 0.13, but it may be too simple or too complex to use, depending on what you are trying to do. Versions for Windows and Linux, the Win DLL is around 200k, it can be also used as a static library (the .exe's then become around 200k in size too).
Another small library Angelo showed me is the Leonard Lib, used in the VM: http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~leonardo/ll.shtml, but i never tried it, seems like the entry-point must be changed to its WinMain or just main, i'm not sure. The header seems easy to translate using the h2bi tool http://www.freebasic.net/temp/swig_fb.zip.
One day somebody may start a project to write a #####Basic-ish, non-OO, small, multi-platform GUI library for FB, but it may take time..

but please don't spent time for an GUI lib (we can do it too) use your time for OO or the needed debuging part breakpoints an the other havy debug things PLEASE
A nice time.
