From: KiLVaiDeN on 2 Nov 2006 06:00 Hello group, To make a GUI application multi-platform enabled, what library would you chose for the design ? I suspect GTK is the best solution, since GTK apps exist for both platforms, but I'm still wondering if maybe I've missed a library that is worth looking at, from the assembly point of view. I want to code my GUI application in assembly, and be able to compile the source for both platforms without change ( or with MINIMAL change ) on both platforms. For the moment, my choice is : FASM + GTK.. But I'm unsure about how well this would work in a windows environment. Thanks for any help :) Cheers K

From: hutch-- on 5 Nov 2006 22:44 KiLVaiDeN, You are basically at the mercy of available libraries to perform this task and I don't know how successful such a task will be with what is available. Probably your best chance is a portable C style of library but you will probably find that the range on both OS types is limited with this approach. Regards, hutch at movsd dot com

There is a wrapper for wxWidgets (get wx-c.dll): http://wxnet.sourceforge.net/why.html See Bernd's demo: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/aoaprogramming/files/Bernd%27s%20Box/wx-demo.zip Nathan.

It depends on the amount of time and efforts he means to give to this. Fact is that the most usual rules about this kind of 'libraries' are that: * Usualy... nothing works... * The Apps will be way sub-optimal, and slow. Another possible way is with creating entire customizations of a windowing system, implementing the bases of such a System: * Custom Mouse Event. * Custom Lines Drawing. * Custom colouring. This would be a HUGE collection of Functions to implement on both system, not even talking of the Disk-Acceses, Net- Access, and so on... Half tried to do it for Windows (and this is WAY easier under Win32 than under Linux). He spent close to 3 years at doing this, and, as a result, this is a very big thing,... calling for tons of OS Functions. He was unfortunately gone before even beginning to work at anything for Linux, and i have no more any news from him. I know that he was bad health and having social difficulties - hope he is well, and will be back some day... -. So said, i am in the opinion that the attempt is suicidary, but, with tons of very hard work, it might nevertheless be a possible thing... that nobody would ever care about, at the end, in case it would succeed, as usual.
