C++ cross platform frameworks

[pintux]

Hi everybody,

Anyone knows other cross platform frameworks for C++ than NSPR and
wxWidgets?
I need to build GUIs and Network programming.

Thanks,

antonio

google for:

wxWindows
fox toolkit
ultimate++
U/WIND

There's many of them out there. Almost all are missing something
important. Qt might be a good starting point, but it's not very cheap.
There's some free ones as I showed above.
HTH,

Or try to do too much. I would love to see a library that wraps the GUI
and *nothing but* the GUI (i.e. not threads, or sockets, etc.), and uses
the Standard Library for things like strings and streams, without
creating their own special versions of everything (e.g. CString,
wxString, etc. - why not use std::string?).

Though calling QT a C++ framework is stretching the term.

Is there a universal definition of "a C++ framework"?

No. Just my opinion, but a C++ framework should use only C++. Not
something extra, going beyond the language like QT does.

I think gtkmm comes very close. It does use its own string though. Thats
because of things related to unicode and locales, IIRC.

Google for Ultimate++. It's a very very slim toolkit based on X
(Linux) and API (win). It has an IDE written in Ultimate++, which is
the main target they programmed the library for.
