Quote:Original post by bobstevens Qt is probably the best but it's encumbered by a terrible license, whereas wxWidgets is nearly as good and is LGPL.
QT is GPL. Is that so terrible? GTK is just fine, too -- especially if you're writing in c, though I'd like to get an idea of what you dislike about it. I'm not partial to any particular gui library - usually if I need buttons I do web stuff or use Tk ;)

it's dual licenced for linux, GPL and QPL. if you write a GPL-application, you can use QT under GPL. That's how KDE was developed.
For small GUIs using GTK and its Python Bindings works great. you can even mix it with C/C++ code (bindings can be generated automatically with SWIG). That way all your GUI code can be scripted in python.
yeah QT is just about as easy as windows .net forms programming but it's even better cuz it works on mac,linux and windows unlike windows forms.

For the GUI toolkit discussion I think that fltk is a very neat toolkit for cross platform programming. Or any kind of programming really ;) IMHO of course.
I like fltk too, it is very easy to use and kind of minimilist (which I like) the only thing that bites is using fluid, fltk GUI maker... the source code editing sucks from within fluid... just my opinion though... sometimes the documentation leaves a touch to be deisred too... but is is straigh foward.. I went from knwing nothing to making a half desnt front end in a few days...
Close this Gamedev account, I have outgrown Gamedev.
