Re: [LAD] FLTK vs GTKmm

For what is worth, Qt's documentation is simply superb (reference, examples, tutorials), I suggest you give it a look, for me it was the selling point. http://doc.qtsoftware.com/4.5/index.html You can use any build system you want with it as long as it takes into account Qt's idiosyncrasies: autotools, cmake or scons are possibilities I have toyed with, although in the end I haven't found any reason to use anything other than qmake in my Qt projects. About dependencies, what are you referring to precisely? It has its drawbacks too (dual licensing, non-standard C++ syntax extensions...) but I find it easy to learn, powerful and well supported. Anyway, all toolkits are fine once you get used to them, just pick the one with the more appealing features to you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_widget_toolkits#Comparison Cheers, Luis
