I personaly like wxWindows better then Qt. It's portable, stable, free. Qt may have the better support but on the other hand it only works with VC++ and comes with a nice big DLL your prog will use... I don't like Qt.

It might be a sin posting this here, but personaly I'd say that the Visual Studio isn't bad. I like it's features, but still Dev-Cpp is free and very very good. :)
I didn't try GTK so I can't comment on that (wxWin got a GTK port for Linux). Check www.wxwindows.org. It may be hard trying it the first time and getting what it's all about, but once compiled and having the simple examples running it's a real blast.

I never asked anything here, but gtk is something I know nothing about. You said that you work with gtk, may I ask whether you do it with mingw or cygwin? The author of gimp said that gtk can only be used with cygwin, not with mingw because of msvcrt.dll among other things. Or is it still possible to use it with mingw?

can i get some feedback on qt? as i understand, porting is very simple, if required. is that so for gtk?
Qt's advantages? GTK is free, what else?

thank you for your input.
i will check it out.
i don't like vc++ at all.
any pointers to documentation would be appreciated.

I'm working with GTK+ 1.3.
Mainly because of wGlade, a tool to create Windows nearly as in Studio.
I never had major problems.
Many cross-platform applikations are written in GTK. GTK-Applications are easy to port to windows.
From MFC, may be it's easier to port to wXwindows.
Apart from the discussed Toolkits there are many others, some cross platform.

Do you refer to the Document of Pennoc Havington?
Some SW like the GCC itself compile only with cygwin.
What I can definitly say is, there are libs and headers for GTK 1.3 which compile unter Mingw-GCC (I use 2.95).
For GTK 2.0 I don't know:

No, I think it was written by Tor Lillqvist, but thank you!
