Is there under linux some development application for graphical design , like QT , , but which is free also for commercial purposes ?

[techieMoe]

Perhaps GTK+?

[prosen]

GTK+ is one of the foremost and its free ..

[aral]

So , did gtk+ come with my liinux distribution (suse 9.3) ? cause I can't find it anywhere and I did a full instalation .

[techieMoe]

It probably did, but the development packages for it may not have been installed. You might open up YaST and search for GTK. The package might be called something like gtk-devel.

I found a package in yast which is called gtk2-devel and it is installed . How do I start gtk+ then ? And one other thing: is gtk+ only for creation of GUI in Gnome , or also for KDE ?

[aral]

Also , is there a GUI designer for gtk+ ?

How does gtk compare to Qt?

Thanks, Jeff

That is one of the things that I don't understand either mostly because I'm new to this graphical "mambo jambo" . As far as I understood gtk+ is a class of graphical libraries , and QT is an application which uses libraries (probably not gtk libraries), I guess .. , isn't it ? I could be way off here , someone enlighten me pls !
Also if someone could answer my questions above I would be gratefull ! Tahnks .

I can't speak for how they perform in applications (since I've never designed in GTK+) but the obvious difference is their license. Qt is not free (no cost) for commercial use. GTK+ is. That doesn't necessarily mean it's *better*, but I think that's an important difference.
