Some excellent free tools combinations for Windows allowing to do GUI development rather efficiently: - Ada95 (GNAT compiler) + GWindows (high level GUI bindings, can work efficiently without RC files). Soon expected a free full featured GUI development suite. - Some C++ + VXCL GUI library (Well, no GUI builder); - GCC C or C++ (I don't know whether other compilers work) + GTK2 GUI library (Well, needs big runtime to work and produces not standard Windows applications.) Also has Glade-2 (a great UI builder). > and it's really not that important, considering that most Win32 users > would rather just have a binary and don't care at all what kind of > source licensing is involved. Free tools brings more _programmers_ into development, especially programmers from poor countries who may have the same skills but earn about 100 times less than US programmers. -- Victor Porton ([EMAIL PROTECTED]; http://ex-code.com) _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel
