Introduction

CGUI is a Graphical User Interface library. It contains functions that you can use to create windows with buttons, lists, edit boxes etc. Read the documentation (you find it in the docs directory of cgui) for details. The docs will be built in several formats when you build the library (see below)

CGUI compiles on the following platforms: DOS/DJGPP, Linux, Cygwin Windows/Mingw32, and Windows/MSVC.

Requirements

You need to have compiled and installed Allegro before building CGUI. You need at least version 4.0 of Allegro, and it has been tested up to version 4.0.3. There are also other requirements like correctly installed compilers etc. but these are already fulfilled if you succeded in making Allegro and running some of its graphical examples (no additional requirements are needed).
You can find Allegro at: http://alleg.sourceforge.net/

Installation

Installation goes in the following simple steps, and should be familiar since it is exactly the same way as you used when installing Allegro: That's it! You may also want to perform some of the optional steps:


Usage

Read the documentation (e.g. cgui.html) section Usage about how to build your own program using CGUI.
Run some of the examples and look at the code to get hints how to use CGUI. Read the documentation to learn more and to see details how it works.
