The actual fltk part of the GUI must be written in C++; fltk itself is written in C++ and there's no way of avoiding that. However, once you have the basic GUI in place, it would be practical to provide C bindings to the key input/output methods that could then call access the GUI from the plain-C code. The inverse, calling C code from a C++ GUI, is trivial so would not require special bindings to be created. So, in summary, you can do this, but it maybe take a little work. Why not use C++? You can make all your files be "technically" C++ but just write plain-C for everything, except for the few places it needs to call into the GUI, and that will Just Work. For most practical purposes, C is a subset of C++, so a valid C program can be compiled as C++ with no discernible differences!
