Re: [PLUG] [OT] Android development under Linux ?

I've been looking into wxWidgets (https://www.wxwidgets.org/) as a toolkit for a project that would ideally run under Windows, Linux, and Android. Not sure about iOS since my iMac runs Ubuntu and I don't have any other Apple devices.

I've gotten side-tracked into trying to rebuild my phone's OS so I can include security patches but I seem to recall that wxWidgets looked like a reasonable toolkit and the license terms looked good for personal and commercial work.

That is pretty-much the official way to go about it.

The only alternative I'd consider is some kind of cross-platform
toolkit, but I'm not really aware of anything that is
universally-accepted or FOSS. There isn't really anything like gtk/qt
for iOS+Android+Windows+X11+OSX as far as I'm aware, or even just
iOS+Android. There are definitely cross-platform toolkits, but most
are proprietary and none seem to have universal acceptance.

Disclaimer: I know enough about GUI software development to be
dangerous on any platform.
