Is there a GUI toolkit for Linux and Windows?
Is there a GUI toolkit for Linux and Windows?
Dear All,
I would like to have some advice from my puppy programmer friends, on a GUI toolkit that I should learn.
I would like to learn a GUI toolkit where I can write a program for a gui application that can work both in Linux and Windows. I mean platform independent GUI toolkit. It should be simple and easy to learn.
So that with minimum effort I can do GUI programming for both operating systems.
Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

tcltk comes to mind.
edit: might only run on old windows OS, although maybe ActiveTCL

Windows
x86 or x86_64 architecture
Windows XP or later
Mac
PowerPC or Intel architectures
Minimum OS X 10.4 (PowerPC/Intel)
Linux
x86: Minimum 2.4 kernel (e.g. Red Hat 9+, Oracle Enterprise Linux 4+)
x86_64: Minimum 2.6 kernel
glibc 2.4+

gui toolkit for linux and windows
yad comes to my mind
Learn to use it in puppy (it is easy) and hope it works in windows, see

SUUM CUIQUE.
I have used qt, but it seems it is too big.
lets say I wrote an gui app for an OS. I need to load the library to the OS before my app runs. How big are them for QT, GTK+, GTKDialog etc?
How can I get to know that?

Another multiplatform GUI toolkits (smaller than Qt) :snayak wrote:I have used qt, but it seems it is too big.

Both GTK+ and Qt are heavy, but:
- The GTK+ API is more stable (some functions were deprecated between 2.x and 3.x), while Qt breaks compatibility between major versions (e.g Qt3 and Qt4 are totally incompatible).
- GTK+ is available on more systems, since Firefox, Chrome, GIMP and many other "major" applications use it.
- Both work on Windows, but GTK+ 3 wasn't ported to Windows yet.
- Both are heavy. If you're looking for a lightweight alternative, there are FOX and FLTK.
If you want easy development, you should try FLTK. It's quite nice - the developers made FLUID, a GUI RAD tool.

Many thanks for introducing me with fltk and fox.
both are c++ tools. Good. They have other lagnguage bindings as well. Smaller too.
Do they have tcl/tk language binding? No, right?
What else toolkits are having smaller memory footprint and good to use?
Do any other toolkit have PHP language extension/binding?
