I've noticed that FLTK, wxWindows, and GTK+ can be
installed to your Dev-C++ setup with the built-in package
manager, which is very helpful, though using them requires
just a little more setup (editing your project file to include the
right libs, etc).

Also, all three of those toolkits have graphical GUI builders
that people have already programmed. I haven't used any of
them, so I don't know what they're like, but the screenshots
look very promising.

If you want to check them out, look at...

FLTK -> Fluid
http://www.fltk.org/documentation.php/doc-
1.1/fluid.html#FLUID

GTK -> Glade
http://glade.gnome.org/
http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/

wxWindows has several which are listed at
http://www.wxwindows.org/lnk_tool.htm
the most promising free one seems to be wxGlade
http://wxglade.sf.net/

Maybe what we should be requesting is that those projects
be packaged as Dev-C++ packages.

Good luck.

Yeah, that would be pretty sweet, seeing as I can't get
GLIDE to work right on my computer.
