Create a Window-Based GUI

[frankmorgner]

• should be usable with Test_nPAClientLib and SimpleClient
• should use a portable GUI, e.g. qt5 or wxWidgets

Some implementation hints:
You may use the interface which already is defined in https://github.com/BeID-lab/eIDClientCore/blob/master/eIDClientCore/bin/Test_nPAClientLib/eidui_cli.h. These callbacks can be implemented by a shared library, which would make the UI interchangable...

I've tried to use QT for the GUI, but it seems to be too complicated. The problem is that QT is not designed for using it as a library in a non-QT-project (a project which is not build with qmake, like the SimpleClient).

From now on I'm gonna try to build the gui with wxWidgets. It's probably easier to integrate into the SimpleClient.

have you looked at these suggestions? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3632038/can-i-use-qt-without-qmake-or-qt-creator

But the wxWidgets might work equally well...

In the end I ran into trouble with the makros used in qt to export functions while building the qt-gui as a library. To build a qt-project with automake i'ts possible to just execute qmake in a makefile.

wxWidgets looks way easier to integrate into the SimpleClient and to compile with g++. And it's also a cross-platform gui library.

OK good, it's your choice!
