Description: IUP is a multi-platform toolkit for building graphical user interfaces. It offers a simple API in three basic languages: C, Lua and LED. IUP's purpose is to allow a program source code to be compiled in different systems without any modification. Its main advantages are:

• high performance, due to the fact that it uses native interface elements.
• fast learning by the user, due to the simplicity of its API.

Dependencies:

• lua
• ftgl (fork to 2.1.5)
• pdflib

Main libraries:

• im (imaging toolkit)
• cd (canvas draw)
• iup (depends on im and cd)

There is no PDFlib library in the repository, and a fork of the ftgl library is needed to build the IUP stack. The fork has some minor changes, which I attach for comparison with the original one available in the repository.

It may be worth testing the library with other software, but judging by the source code, edits were made there to add, not delete.

The entire stack is assembled in my repository, please read it.
