What's the easiest way of doing GUI programming on Linux? When I Google this I get lots of results about Python programming, Python isn't a language I like or want to learn but I wouldn't rule out using it for simple things if it is much easier than other options. I would prefer C/C++. What I would ideally like is a system like IBM's VisualAge for C++ on Linux. When using VisualAge C++ on OS/2 I could write a program that had all the basic controls and basic operations on them (EG enter text into an entry field and click a button to have it added to a listbox) without writing any code. For writing a GUI front-end to a server I could design all the screens graphically and then just write C code to copy data between entry fields and API calls. But I have the impression that no such thing exists for Linux. I know it sounds horrible, but something like VisualBasic for Linux would probably do. What I want to do is move many of the things I do on my laptop to a phone and that requires less use of the command-line. So shell scripts need to be replaced with GUI operations and ssh to run commands on a server needs to be replaced by API use or parsing ssh output for GUI display. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ linux-aus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux.org.au/mailman/listinfo/linux-aus To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to linux-aus-unsubscribe-cunTk1MwBs8iFSDQTTA3OBCuuivNXqWP@public.gmane.org
