Linux – How do I create my own menuconfig GUI?

How do I create my own menuconfig GUI?… here is a solution to the problem.

How do I create my own menuconfig GUI?

I

have a script in my head and I first want to make a GUI for it. The GUI style should be “menuconfig” (e.g. from the Linux kernel, Buildroot, etc.). I know one way is to “copy-paste” e.g. makefile Buildroot, but I don’t think learning ground rules is probably the best practice/easiest way.

I searched the internet for some tutorials on writing that makefile and couldn’t find anything. Is this even a “simple job”, or is writing a GUI in Java Swing or QT the easier solution to develop?

Does anyone have any good links on this topic?

Thanks
