Hi all,

I'm looking for a light weight graphical environment to write a Linux program in. I'm currently aware of X (free, org), and that they have a light weight version (though I don't remember what or where, links would be welcome), and of svgalib. Is there anything besides those two?

Also, is there anything that will give me actual widgets? I don't need anything fancy. Simple buttons and a progress bar would more than do.

I'll just define what I mean by "light". I need it to require close to zero configuration, and to load quickly. The dotted screen X puts up when it loads is something I would rather avoid.

The environment is a semi embedded situation. It's not embedded platform, but I have practical reasons I would like to keep memory and space footprints to a minimum.

I recommend you look into the combination of TinyX (a.k.a KDrive) and fltk. Compiled with uCLibc they give you a full graphical envrionment in ~10MB of space with a full widget set and zero configuration.

There is also embedded QT, but I don't like it as much.

And send dash to Shuky :-)
