Apps :: Deciding GUI development tool

Hello all,
I am in a strange problem,
I want some GUI application to run on DSL (Damn small Linux). I dont want to install any GUI development tools on DSL.
I have another PC with RedHat linux, having both Gtk and Qt installed on it.
Is there any way so that i can develop some application using either Gtk or Qt and it will run on DSL ( maybe with some modification). Which GUI tool should i use? Gtk or Qt?

Can you guide me regarding this?

i don't know about QT but you i think you can run GTK apps on dsl. GTK2 requires gtk2-0705.dsl.

Qt and Gtk2 are both not available in DSL base.
If you don't want to have to install additional software on DSl in order to run the program, you have a few choices:

Use Xlib only.
Use Gtk 1.2.
Use the MurgaLua interpreter to create FLTK interfaces with the Lua scripting language.
Create programs that include the necessary libraries statically linked (FLTK is ideal for this).
Include the runtime libraries with your program (probably the worst idea of the bunch).

Hi,
I think using XLib or using Gtk 1.2 would be a better option than using MurgaLua interface with Lua scripting language.
Can you just give me some details about how to link with xlib?

Will the application build through Gtk 1.2 directly runs on dsl?
From dsl website i found that libgtk1.2 v1.2.10-14 is currently availabe in dsl. So my feeling is that if i use Gtk 1.2 then as the libraries are already there so the GUI app should dirctly run on dsl. Am i right?
Also tell me how to use Xlib so that i can finalize from one of those.
Thanks for your kind help.
