building a giu?

[slackware71]

Hi!
Well i was thinking i wanted to create a simple gui for a program in one of gnomes editors. It encodes audio files... All i need to do is make a place for input and output files and some checkboxes. How do i make the relation shipbetween the gui and the program itsself. I thought this would be some good experience with linux. I do have knowledge of some programming too so im not toally lost.
Thanks

These sites may be a good start to learn about the gtk+ gui.

there is always ncurses too. november's linux magazine had some basic information on doing just what you are asking. linuxmag (http://www.linuxmagazine.com)

well i started on the gui and compiled it... now im not really sure how to install it. I would assume i have to run some command to configure and make it but i tried all i know.
