I still consider Tcl/Tk more portable. > - Qt4 is a very good designed and elegant API and it works perfectly under Windows, see current porting of qgit under Windows: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/qgit/qgit4 Language to use is C++, not C (much more powerful IMHO) One thing that you should note is that if you go Qt4/C++ you can forget to have it all in one file. I think you should consider the new gitk 'footprint' becuase if you leave TCL, any windows library you use will force you to create a multi file project. Marco P.S: If you choose Qt/C++ (the best technically speaking ;-) please you could consider starting from an already laid out code base instead of starting from scratch. As example, hmmmm, I think there is one called 'qgit', if I remember correctly. It's nice and very very very fast.
