interface for C program

["Illes J. Farkas" <fij angel elte hu>]

Hi,

I need to build a graphical interface for my C program (with data input,
input file selection, run-time messages, some drawing on a canvas etc.)
and compile the entire package for both Linux and Windows users.

I've been working with C, perl and java for some years now, and a few days
ago I was told I should use Tcl/Tk and connect that to my C program.
However, now I rather doubt that 'wish' will be able to communicate with
an executable in a reliable, platform-independent way.

Please, tell me, if I'm wrong.


I would be absolutely happy with any solution that I can understand and
can compile into a reliable software for both platforms. In the end, the
users of the program should only need to say <name_of_program> (on Linux)
or click on the icon (Windows).


Thank you for your help in advance.
