GUI C++ Applications on Linux like MFC

Asked by Master

Which Editor I can use for making c++ Projects to make GUI applications as we can make in VC++ Editor(For Making MFC Applications).

MFC Libraries are good to make GUI applications in Windows(contains several pre-defined classes and also wizards/Dialogs and also Drag n Drop support in Editor). What is the alternative to this in Linux(Ubuntu).

I heard about QT IDE (can be integrated with eclipse)

Hi, another alternative is an to use GTK, in particular gtkmm, this is the wrapped library for C++.
Inside gtkmm web-page there are many informations and great guides for learn to use gtkmm.

Thanks, Antonio !

I googled out for gtkmm; it is good for making GTK+ based applications and it is good official interface for GTK+ .

I also got this
http://www.gtk.org/screenshots.html

It is platform independent so more useful for me. :)

So now I have two choices QT and GTK+. Other choices/ alternatives are welcomed.

Which Editor I can use with GTK+.

Another alternative is wxWidget.

With gtk (C or C++) you can directly use anjuta.
It is able to create a gtk or gtk+ project. To design the interface can you use glade.
To install all the necessary, launch command:
sudo apt-get install gnome-devel
sudo apt-get install gnome-dev-doc
sudo apt-get install libgtkmm-2.4-dev
(I think that sufficient)
