I would like to put together a small standalone GUI application (statically linked).  I would prefer a simple API that won't take much time to learn.  Years ago I used FLTK on a small C++ project and would like to find something simple like that.  It looks like DWT might fit the order, but I can't tell if it is very actively used or maintained.

What would you suggest for a small library that is easy to learn?

Thanks!

The statically linked thing might be more difficult. GtkD is the best cross platform solution. You might consider binding FLTK (create a C shim, and call through that) if that's what you want.

It's currently not actively maintained. But I haven't abandoned the project. Sometimes I get contributions, the last one was just two days ago:

I think DWT is quite easy.

DWT is statically linked.

I think I will try out DWT then.  Thanks for the info and updates!

Oh, BTW, I should have mentioned that the Mac OS X port of DWT isn't finished yet, sorry.
