      Well, if you can handle the real API, then go for it. Otherwise, there are a couple good ones on vUpdate that I have not tried yet but have heard good things. I hear GTK is really cool.

      And some people seem to like wxwindows.  Watch though, as some of the dev-packs have not been updated to deal with 3.2...which, and to what degree they don't work...others are ore qualified to tell you...

      WxWindows here! :)
      No, really, I tried some frameworks (not all of them) but wxWindows I liked the most. Although Kip is right: It's allways a big advantage to know about the API first.
      GTK+ seems to be good as some people here use it, too. FLTK should work, but I never tried it. Qt is nothing for me. To bloated and currently only available for MSVC (at least the "free" version). MFC is a pain in the ****, not bad in the beginning, but really not that good after all.
      For a package of wxWindows compiled using gcc 3.2 check my little guide at www.bg.bib.de/~bbsh1akr/ Compile it yourself or give my package a try (although someone complained that I included the contribs in it)

      Besides above, there's another pre-compiled devpak, and a easier way to compile by yourself:
