Two of the most popular these days seem to be Qt (C++) and GTK+ (C). I like Qt - the programs I create are easier to follow and understand, and C++ seems like a better way to build GUIs than C. It's also better documented than GTK+ (GTK+, last I checked, didn't have any documentation. >From the looks of the web site, that's being changed), which leads to Qt being easier to use. The address for these toolkits: * Qt: http://www.troll.no * GTK+: http://www.gtk.org [no Qt vs GTK flames, please!] Also note that there is a C++ framework for GTK+ called Gtk-- that very closely resembles Qt. The address for that is: http://lazy.ton.tut.fi/terop/iki/gtk/gtk--.html > > Also, what's the command and arguments for compiling > "hello world" in Linux with g++ (just to get me started)? Assume your source file is called hello.cpp: g++ -s hello.cpp -o hello The parameters: -s: strips debugging information. Putting in '-g' instead of '-s' will tell the compiler to put in debugging information. -o: tells the compiler the name of the output file. If you don't tell it the name of the output file, you'll end up with the file 'a.out' as your executable. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
