> Linux Standard Base, qt( http://qt.nokia.com/ ) and other solutions should be looked it for you are wanting to build applications to run on many platforms. qt particularly. I agree. Take a look at Qt. In 2008 when I started using open source cross platform libraries (instead of developing my own) to help display and process my medical imaging research, I decided it was time to evaluate moving to a framework that was also cross platform. A second motivation for this was MFC had begun to show signs of abandonment from Microsoft. At that point I was a MFC / windows developer for over a decade. It was a lot of work at first to move to a new platform and at the same time develop a new application but in the end I am very happy with the result and I wish I used Qt long ago. -- John M.
