I was thinking GTK+ :-)
So compile wxWidgets to use the GTK backend - I get my
object-oriented API (I've been spoiled by Swing), you get your cute
little GTK widgets. Win-win :)
It seems to me that it'd make more sense to write some sort of UI in
plain ANSI C, with a text-based UI. Worry about the GUI part later
(and then you can feel free to use whatever whiz-bang graphics you
want
without annoying people like me, if it's got a good CLI).
Possibly just write a library for doing basically everything you
want to
do with the device, and distribute that with some sort of API
reference, which should make writing a clean/portable/changeable UI
that much easier.
This is a fantastic way to do things like this...If more software
were developed in this manner, I'd have torn out a lot less hair by now.
