Possible to create GUI with C programming only?

Question

I m doing school final year project and I m using Xen with introspection library Libvmi (You don t need to know what that is). Basically, this library only supports C programming and python. I am required to create a GUI to monitor some data. The main problem: Python does not work. There s several compatibility issues with the versions and whatnot.

Anyway, we re short on time and therefore would rather not spend an indefinite amount of time troubleshooting. I also have no desktop for the OS(Centos minimal) I m working with (another large amount of errors when attempted). I only have the console to work with. So, is it possible to create a GUI for my project with just C programming?

Please kindly advise. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Yes, assuming you find the suitable libraries to help you along. Even at its core you'd have to use some system libraries to draw things onto the screen, though there should be some pre-built C libraries you can use that abstract away all that.

Sort of like how every commodore 64 game was programed on some console style thing.

Answer 2

C Programming Gui

Answer 3

it can be done if your c compiler supports mouse and graphics.

Mouse and graphics support are not standard in the C language but most compilers support them...
