gNewt library
 

 Description :

gNewt is a Newt compatible gtk+ based library. Newt was originally written by Erik Troan at Red Hat Software. gNewt was patched by Jean-Marc Lienher.

gNewt's license is LGPL ( GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE ).

gNewt is a gtk+-based window and widget library designed for writing applications with a simple, but user-friendly, interface under X window. gNewt provides the same feature set as newt does. It means that gNewt is not intended to develop an application with a complex user interface.
Supported programming languages are C, Python, TCL, Shell Script and Perl.

The first goal of gNewt is to be compatible with newt.

Newt programs that are dynamically linked to newt, can be dynamically linked to gNewt without recompilation by setting the LD_PRELOAD environmental variable.

Whiptail scripts can also take full advantage of gNewt.

Current gNewt source code version is 0.06 and is compatible with newt-0.50-13.
