More geeking...

I'm looking at writing some simple cross-platform GUI stuff, probably in C. Well, probably in C++ since all the decent cross-platform GUI libraries seem to require it.

Other than FLTK (which looks pretty good) and GTK+ (which sorta works on Windows, but it's not clear how well), anybody got any recommendations for a toolkit that will do (at a minimum) Linux and most common Windows flavors?

Oof! I checked their web page. Since there's no GPL'd version of Qt for Windows, I'd have to use one of the regular commercial ones if I wanted to be able to distribute apps (even for free) legally.

That's a minimum of $1550. Ouch! And that's if it takes me a year or less to finish everything I'll ever do on the app.

So yeah, that's not really an option.
