WxWidgets 2.8.12 / 2.9.4
WxWidgets, Library for cross-platform GUI development.
Updated by Editors on Monday, July 9, 2012.
WxWindows is a set of libraries that allows C++ applications to compile and run on several different types of computer, with minimal source code changes. There is one library per supported GUI (such as Windows, GTK+, Motif, and Mac). As well as providing a common API (Application Programming Interface) for GUI functionality, it provides functionality for accessing some commonly-used operating system facilities, from copying and deleting files to socket and thread support. wxWindows is a 'framework' in the sense that it provides a lot of built-in functionality, which the application can use or replace as required, thus saving a great deal of coding effort. Basic data structures such as strings, arrays, linked lists and hash tables are also supported.
Platforms: Windows, Unix (gtk+, motif),MacOS

This library is just fantastic. It gives what real cross compilation libraries need to give you... right from GUI to Multi Threading.
This set of libraries is so fantastic, it is hard to describe. It's a must have even if you are not going to be doing cross platform development. The only thing you need to write any type of application you want is a good understanding of C++.
None of the big name corporations in the industry could ever hope to come *close* to matching the power, ease of use and sophistication of this development platform.
This is the direction computer science is headed.
