How to approach TLC/TK and C++ project

[mayanga]

Hello!

I'm working on a c/c++ project and now I would like to build a GUI and have some Buttons to call some of the c++ functions and finally display some images in a nice way.

I have found TCL/TK would be a good Idea. And maybe C++/Tcl
A C++ library for interoperability between C++ and Tcl is also helpful..?

Anyway I'm new to this field and don't know the best approach to this problom. What I need in the end is a *.exe that runs on Windows machines without installing tons of libs and stuff...

Thanks for help!!!!! cyril.

PS: Is there a way to make a exe file out of a *.tcl project file?

There are a couple of ways to make a Tcl/Tk script into an executable program; my favorite one is Freewrap (

http://freewrap.sourceforge.net/).

But I think you're making this way too complicated. C++ has all kinds of GUI building capabilities that seem to me to render Tk redundant, given that you're coding in C++ to begin with. Why don't you want to build the GUI in C++?

Hi,

Thank you very much for your hint. What would you then suggest??? I've tried to install QT in the eclipse (with CDT) environment. Eventually I have not managed to install everything properly and I keep getting errors.

Ciao! cyril.

I'm probably not qualified to help you because:
1. I don't know any C++
2. I don't know what QT is
3. I don't know what eclipse is (other than the Sun/Moon thing)
4. I don't know what CDT is

But if you ask a less coded question, I'll try to answer if I can.
