Use fdesign a GUI builder that helps the construction of graphical user interface in a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) way by allowing the user to directly manipulate various objects, such as buttons, sliders and menus etc.
Once a satisfactory UI is constructed, the user can save the composed interface into an external file containing some C code. When compiled, linked with the Forms Library , and executed, the generated code would construct the exact same interfaces as those seen within fdesign.
In order to use the Forms Library "libforms.a" and the according header file "forms.h" use the following flags while compiling
-I/usr/local/contrib/include -L/usr/local/contrib/lib -lforms.a
