Hello. I am looking for a GUI API that is cross platform and works
with Windows, Mac, and Linux. I was hoping for something free and open
source. You see, I have yet to find anything that fits this criteria.
GTK+ is good, but it doesn't work on the Mac. Qt claims to work on all
Operating Systems, but it requires a recompile on that platform and
I've yet to figure out how to accomplish that without buying the
commerical version. So if anyone can recommend an alternative, please
do.
Anyways, if there isnt anything out there that would suit my needs, I
am thinking about writing my own maybe? If you can provide any
information on how I would do this, such as how I would draw GUI
widgets and things of that sort so I can go about programming my own,
that would be great.
Thanks

I think Qt 4 will be offered as open source for windows too
when it's out, but I'm not sure. Have a look at www.trolltech.com.
And the way I understand it Qt makes no difference in
performace, easy-of-use etc. between "free" and commerical versions.

Are there any good websites or books that deal with cross platform XML? I'd

Opera, possibly konqueror on Linux as well.

DHTML.

who've never encountered it, it's a free, open-source, cross-platform

Bear with me, but I've been reading a lot about how the .NET languages
are platform independent, and I assume this means a program written in
C# can be run on a Unix or Mac machine. If this assumption is wrong,
then nevermind! :)
But if it's true, what will be necessary to run these programs on a Mac,
for example? I know they would need an equivalent to the .NET Framework,
but does something like this exist yet, or is the "platform...

I'd like to develop a simple cross-platform application in C++. I'd
like it to run in Windows, OS X, PC-BSD and Linux. From my research, it
seems I should use Qt or Gtk as a graphical library. Do you agree? Do
you have other tips? How Cygwin could help me? Thanks.

Hello, everyb.
Does anybody know simple cross-platform method of probing if
executable binary is available and launching it.
Problem no.1: test if executable file is available
I'll take windows platform as the most relevant in this case.
os.access() doesn't handle env PATHEXT and can't detect if a given
path would be executable or not. Here "executable" means file that

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
