Hi all,
I'm starting to develop a timetable scheduling program in ANSI Common
Lisp. It happens I have no experience in GUI development, and I really
have to have one for this program.
What I would like to listen from you are some advices concerning a
free GUI builder choice. The criteria I consider the most are the
following:
- portability (Linux and Windows - and Maccintosh if possible)
- simplicity (it means simple concepts for building GUIs, not the IDE
stuff)
- performance (heavy GUIs are usually not welcome).
I know there are lots of threads concering GUI issues. However, I
didn't find any with a simple and clear approach to this matter.
Thanks for reading this post,
Nelson Marques

Do you need LGPL (or something else), or would GPL do? If GPL is
unacceptable, would you pay $50 for a commercial license?
Those are just research questions; my X,Win32,Mac GUI (cello, some info
at link below) is still stumbling to its OpenGL-based feet. But it might
surprise me and be ready to go pretty soon. I imagine you need something
yesterday? Do I am developing on win32, so that will appear first. What
are you on?
Anyway, I am curious about what would be acceptable to you (or anyone
else reading this) license-wise.

I think Cello will score well on all that. It has always been pretty
fast, and I am hoping using OpenGL will milk the power of todays'
graphics cards nicely.
