I wrote a small program with Boost in c++. It works fine and so I want to give it a graphical interface so that it is easier to use.
In order to do so, I am looking for small cross-platform framework which provides native look and feel. Windows and Linux support would be enough, currently i do not need os x…

I used wxWidgets for some other project, but it was a pain to set everything up and ship this big library with the software.
But I was really amazed by the use of real native controls.
In order to keep the program small I also tried fltk, but it has an awful look.

I just need an simple framework without network support or other gimmicks.

So my question: Is there any framework out there which fits all the requirements? Or if not, which frameworks fits at least some of these needs?

Thanks in advance!

    When it has the word “framework” in its name it’s almost never small.

    Anyway, graphical frameworks/libraries tend to be big, cause they need to handle a lot of stuff.

    Qt is probably the best straightforward library for cross-platform GUI, but it definitely doesn’t constitute a “small framework”. On the other hand, on Linux systems, Qt will be most likely already installed. Plus it definitely pays for its size.
