I program mostly in C while studying at university. I was wondering if there is some simple open-source library that would let me make a GUI for a program in C.

Things to concider by priority:

1. Simple
2. Nice-looking
3. Features

I don't know how to program in C++ and would prefer to stay in pure C.

Answer 1

i would highly recommend Glade + GTK.

i use it in combination with python, and it works quite well. it's also very simple to use.

here is an example:

hope that helps!

EDIT:

here is a more extensive tutorial:

Answer 2

However, notice that it might be difficult to write GUI code in C which runs on many different systems (e.g. on Linux, MacOSX, Android, and Windows). Gtk claim to have such a goal, but I don't know if it fully reached.
