Something like MUI for OSX/Win/Linux?

Hi all,

I know some GUI toolkits but never saw something that is comparable to MUI. I'm not talking about the design. I would like to have something that is as easy as MUI, say, opening a windows by using some C Macros and just call a function. And that has this object oriented approach like MUI.

Doubtfully easily simple. Qt is a good candidate though, and exists for OSX/Win/Linux and more

Qt is simple for the first steps and looks good on various OSes. But distributing software using it results in large archives and it needs preprocessing with special commands. That's what I like in MUI. It is realized just with C macros.

Best what I found so far is fltk. Even statically linked a simple hello world exe has only 500kb, a simple window needs only 3 lines and it can be compile with just one additional compiler and linker flag.

There are multiple. gtk is certainly a popular one (used by Gnome, amongst others), another is qt (used by KDE, amongst others).

I don't know how it or others compare with mui, but my favorite is wxwidgets.
