Re: wxWindows vs. FLTK

I have read the comments made about bloat when using wxWindows and I 
wanted to put the other side of the story.

wxWindows has what I understand to be a native X11 version as well. 
See http://www.wxwindows.org/fosdem2003/html/talk/img14.html

wxWindows can compile to something much smaller by turning off the 
options in the configuration file. (You can then remove the 
equivalent bindings in the wxLua interface).

The 2MB Windows wxLua executable contains most the wxWindows UI 
bindings this includes all the 'modern' UI devices such as docking 
windows, toolbars, status bars and a colour syntax highlighting 
editor. This means that in the 2MB executable there is everything 
required not only to run wxLua programs but you can edit and debug 
them as well. The IDE is written in Lua code, compiled with luac and 
then compiled into the executable.

wxWindows runs on the MAC as well: both old and few flavours. The 
only reason why I have not released a version of wxLua for the 
MAC is simple: I don't own a MAC and so far no-one has offered to 
port it. It should not be too complex a job.
