Cross plattform GUI

SDL Development
1

Hi all

I need to build a cross platform GUI (Win, Linux and MacOS) in order to
build a configuration file.

I need combobox, checkbox, text entry etc…

What is the best way to do this to your mind ? Is SDL a fine way to build
it, with a widget tool on top, such as aedGUI or something newer, or is it
better to use Java ?

Thanks

Laurent

With SDL I would suggest Qt (www.trolltech.com)

wxWindows sounds better, as it’s completely free.

Especially because neither of them can interoperate with SDL in-
process on Mac OS X… :slight_smile:

hi laurent,

apparently the suggested GUIs like QT and wxWindows are very large
libraries for many rendering targets, which involves loads of abstraction
and this leads to a big amount of bloat and complexity.
ontop SDL you obviously need just one rendering target for beeing portable,
so a library specialized on SDL would be lot smaller and faster.
i wrote such a library, and it has a very flat, straightforward API which
is documented using doxygen. the library is currently in a pre-release state,
but it will be released soon. if you’re interested, go and have a look at:

http://www.blah.ch/libsgui/

it has been built and tested successfully on linux, windows and os x.
you can mail me privately if you have any questions to the library.

greets,

It sounds like everybody agree on this issue.
I will look at wxWindows. Moreover, I prefer C++ to java…
Thanks to everyone …

Hello !

My favourite is using SDL with FLTK :
