Hi,

What about the fltk toolkit  (see www.fltk.org) -- Jay Carlson started
a        toLua       based        luafltk        connection       (see
http://lua-fltk.sourceforge.net/), he posted that  in the list, too. I
like fltk for  its compactness, it compiles cleanly  on all major UNIX
platforms  (like  lua ;-)  )  and  works atop  of  both  X and  win32.
Furthermore it comes with excellent OpenGL integration.  My impression
on gtk  and wxwindows  is that --  while their look-and-feel  might be
more professional --  that they are too much  Linux-centered. At least
this  was the state  some time  ago when  I tried  to compile  them on
OSF1/Digital/Tru64/???-Unix. Then, they are quite huge.  IMHO, a basic
design goal of such an effort  should be that the resulting code is as
compact and portable a Lua is. Then this would be really useful stuff.
