GUI using C++
So I have this project that involves raspberry pi. I need to create a GUI on it using C++. I believe that the pre-installed IDLE is for python. How can I acquire a C++ programming language on my Raspberry or something that I can use to create a GUI using a C++ language. Btw, I used NOOBS in installing OS for my raspberry.
Re: GUI using C++
I installed from NOOBS, the C++ compiler is in there already.

Re: GUI using C++
you can install code:blocks. you can use its IDE under LXDE.
but i don't know if there is a tool for design GUI elements... like under windows with VisualStudio.
maybe Qt has such a tool that runs on the RPi as well.
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get -y --force-yes install codeblocksbut i don't know if there is a tool for design GUI elements... like under windows with VisualStudio.

no, not yet... i just found the "tool", if i find time, i will give it a try.PeterO wrote:Have YOU tried glade ?

Re: GUI using C++
Last time I tries it was so slow it was pretty much unusable on a PI.beta-tester wrote:no, not yet... i just found the "tool", if i find time, i will give it a try.PeterO wrote:Have YOU tried glade ?
However if you have a faster Linux PC you can use that to design your GUI and just use the resulting xml gui description file on the PI at run time.

Re: GUI using C++
The OP is asking for means to create a GUI for Pi, not necessarily to run such tools on a Pi, and not to have a GUI IDE running on Pi. Glade might be appropriate. Presumably you can run it on a more capable machine and cross compile for Pi.
QT4/5 is another option. IIRC QT4 is available and ready to go for Rasbian. QT5, with GPU support, can be built for Pi. Again development is probably best done on another machine.
wxWidgets is another option discussed here http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt ... 5&p=292883

Re: GUI using C++
I've used fltk. I develop using windows and/or Linux and then transfer source files to the Rpi and build there using code::blocks or just gcc and a makefile. It works just fine and it includes a tool called "fluid" which lets you create GUIs visually and then it gives you the source for that GUI.

And since you don't seem to know much about Glade.... It writes an xml file that describes the GUI and the callbacks to use when things happen. At run time the xml is parsed by GtkBuilder and the windows and widgets created. Callbacks are automatically linked to the specified handlers.

Re: GUI using C++
No disagreement there, is there? You are saying Glade is fine for creating GUIs to run on Pi if you develop on a faster machine. Yes?PeterO wrote:See my answer two posts above....PiGraham wrote:The OP is asking for means to create a GUI for Pi, not necessarily to run such tools on a Pi, and not to have a GUI IDE running on Pi.
