I'm new to developing at X Windows and am trying choose an X toolkit or system, from what looks like a complex crowd, that will let me write nice MacApp-like programs with as little work on my part as possible. Client programs should compile on A/UX or other Unix boxes with cc, gcc and/or g++. Clients should work properly with MacX and other X servers. I don't care about the window manager properties (MacX window managing is fine), just things like dialog manager controls (buttons, radio boxes, text fields), scrollable text, 2D graphics, mouse and keyboard event managers. The basic Xlib stuff looks too low-level, and also the athena widgets (Xaw). The OpenLook/OpenWindows/XViews stuff from Sun/AT&T looks interesting. Their documents say some company called ICS is working on an A/UX version. InterViews from Stanford also looks like a possibility (a recent message thread here indicates at least a couple of you have it running). There are other things listed in the X11R4 release notes that I don't know about yet (Andrew, Xw, ..). Can anyone suggest something that you have working with A/UX to save me and others some time?
