Which library to make interface?

Which library to make interface?

[Nacho Robledo]

Hi everybody !!!!!

    I am learning Ada and i love this language...now i am making a small web
browser in Ada but i need to make an interfaze (GUI). I have tried with
Gtkada but it's a bit difficult? Anyone can tell me another library that i
can use more easily...?

I have tried too jewl but is only for windows and is very simple. I am
looking for a library that works in linux...

thank you very much,,...

I recommend that you perhaps start with a bit easier project first. A
web browser is not easy to make. Then you'll easier learn and get used
to how GtkAda works. I strondly recommend GtkAda as you GUI toolkit it
is a great toolkit.

If you don't mind being stuck to Windows, you can try Windex:

Wow..GtkAda especially when coupled with glade is pretty easy to use. I
don't think
you will find a GUI library in any language that is dramatically simpler and
yet powerful
enough to write even a rudimentary web browser.

On the plus side if you use GtkAda and adasockets the browser would port to
win32 systems
as well..

GtkAda has a mailing list on their website, so check it out. There is a
lot of great information there. If you are going to do GUI, GtkAda is the
way to go.  All GUI libraries take awhile to get your mind around, but
GtkAda will surprise you over and over with just how easy it is to do
what you want to.  Make sure to use Glade and Gate (to generate ada
code), as it reduces tedium, and builds a good framwork.
