euGTK works great.
euGTK makes sense.
euGTK should be shipped with the next release of Euphoria.
IUP
- has dropped 32bit
- the IUP .so files are a moving target, you have to match the IUP version, bits, os kernal to get things to work--much too painful for me
- my netbook is 32bit and works just fine for my programming needs simply because it runs Euphoria (The Python way is to tell me go buy a faster computer.)
- IUP has the value of working on Euphoria and Phix, not identically but close enough. But, since getting IUP to work is painful, this pseudo compatibility is meaningless.
tk/tcl
- I can get a tk/tcl gui to work equally well on Euphoria and Phix
- the appearance of the gui is now better than I originally remember it
- very few people will put up with writing a tcl gui
libui
- a work in progress
- will never compete with euGTK
- does offer Windows|Unix
- with a minimal wrapper size, and one small .so|.dll file
- looks like a very handy gui to ship with Euphoria
Big question, can libui be ported to Phix?
I see Euphoria has having two gui choices in the next release
- euGTK
- libui
