Portable C++ GUI framework   
I am looking for a decent portable C++ (meaning C++ API, not C) GUI
framework that works both on Linux and Windows, so as to study and learn
it. That is, there should be at least one good decent book about it.


One option is QT. QT licensing however, is to pay for the QT framework,
for running non GPL applications on Windows.

Does anyone know any decent (like QT) portable C++ GUI framework for
Linux and Windows with good documentation (books) available?

   What about http://www.wxwidgets.org/ ? Never used it, but I know a
bunch of projects doesn't have that. Doesn't require your code be GPL
(or pay $$$, like QT does).

I also vote for wxwidgets. Used it, liked it.

Has better native look that Qt and other frameworks,
good Unicode support, a lot of advanced controls available,
and the license is no problem.
