GUI and c/c++

[Andrew Farrington]

I have done a little bit of c programming before, just the basics mind
you. I would like to be able to implement GUIs in c/c++. I know that you
have to use different libraries than the standard ones included with
c/c++. Can anyone recommend any and how I would go about teaching myself
some basic GUIs. I would preferrably NOT like to use visual c++ as this
is a ms product. I would like a solution that is cross compatible as my
desktop is windows zp but my laptop is linux based so I would like t be
able to transfer a project between the two without any hassle.

Thanks in advance (if there will be any)

Use a portable GUI toolkit like Qt, wxWindows, etc. Search the Web or
the news archives for "portable GUI toolkit". Plenty of information.
