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?

I have a wxWidgets based application and it works pretty well. I've found a lot of bugs in wxWidgets over the years. I've fixed a lot of them and submitted (high quality) patches back that got bounced because they weren't done the way the committer wanted. (Like I have time to re-write patches). I've basically given up and I'm just diverging further and further from the mainline. If I had it to do all over again, I would pay for QT. If they will fix bugs for me it's worth the money. Actually, if I had it to do all over again, I would write it as a web app! Seriously, check out gwt. Client applications are soooo 1995. http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/ "Alex Blekhman" wrote: > "Ioannis Vranos" wrote: > > Does anyone know any decent (like QT) portable C++ GUI framework > > for Linux and Windows with good documentation (books) available? > > The wxWidgets is worth mentioning. > > http://www.wxwidgets.org/ > > HTH > Alex > > > >
