Hello!
I'm currently looking for a nice GUI toolkit that could be
interfaced to Chicken. I'm playing around for a while with
various libraries but so far haven't found anything that
I'd really like. Perhaps others could suggest something.
What I know so far:
GTK: I don't like it. Big, perhaps a little bit too ambitious and
hard to install (at least the last time I tried). The only interesting
thing is that it's C based.
Qt: very robust, but not free on Windows. I have some experience
with it, since I use it at work.
GLUI: pretty cool (GLUT based), but misses some crucial widgets
(like multiline edit controls)
FLTK: lightweight, but the documentation is patchy/incomplete.
Currently this is my favorite.
JAPI: appears to be slightly buggy (at least the newest JDK gives trouble),
and too well maintained.
Then one could build something on top of GLUT or SDL, but that appears
a little bit too lowlevel.
Tk: now that would be cool, but I haven't found any documentation on
how to use Tk exclusively (without Tcl).
FOX, wxWindows: I don't know much about those. They appear to bre
quite heavyweight.
Suggestions are welcome.
cheers,
felix
