Implementing gui on Windows/Linux without installing complex libraries

Question

linux

I need to write a GUI platform-independent program for Windows and Linux without installing complex huge libraries with a bunch of dependencies, what can you advise?
Thanks in advance

Answer 1

There is a very light FLTK, but it looks, to put it mildly, awful.
I advise you to be guided by this comparison of cross-platform graphical toolkits / frameworks, which was compiled by the LXDE developers when switching from GTK + to Qt.
Personally, my choice is Qt 4.XX Using a static build and the upx utility, it is possible to get a stand-alone application in one EXE file that does not depend on various dll's.

Answer 2

QT or wxWidgets, there are no simple, lightweight and platform-independent ones.

Answer 3

a platform-independent program for Windows and Linux without installing complex huge libraries with a bunch of dependencies

why do you think this is possible?
