    Question A good framework for C++?

    Does somebody know a good framework for C++ programing under Linux? I would like to write programs with GUIs, buttons, combo boxes etc.
    If you need a CD/DVD catalogizer, give a try to my program:

    What you're looking for is a widget toolkit. The two most popular ones in Linux are Gtk and Qt. Gtk is originally C, but has C++ bindings, while Qt is originally C++. Both do all sorts of GUI stuff. Gnome uses Gtk and KDE uses Qt, but you can write your program with either library and it will run under both.

    Both can do the exact same things: it's really an issue of which you think looks better and which you prefer coding in. I suggest you try them both.

    Gtk's website: GTK+ - The GIMP Toolkit
    Gtk's C++ bindings: gtkmm - the C++ interface to GTK+
    Qt: Qt 4.3: Qt Reference Documentation (Open Source Edition)
