minimal cross-platform gui lib?
c, c++, frameworks, user-interface
Solution
If you need something small, try FLTK libs: I used them at work (embedded development) and I think it's a valid option. Maybe apps are not as "cool" as QT-based ones, but developing with FLTK libs is fast and easy.
Problem
I'm looking for a minimal and easy to learn C or C++ cross platform gui library. In a nutshell I only need the following functionality: - application window - menu bar - some simple dialogs, File-open and save. Maybe a user-written one. - user canvas where I can draw lines an circles on. - some kind of message/event loop mechanism. Target platforms would be Win32 and linux. MacOS would be nice to have but is not important at the moment. Why am I looking for something minimal? I don't want to spend much time to learn a big and full blown abstraction system for a really small application. The easier and leaner, the better. Any suggestions?
