Hi everyone...
I have mostly developed research-based mathematical software and all I needed was mostly VIM, GNU compilers and Makefiles. But now I am willing to add some simple GUI components, such as a open file dialog, properties editor, start/stop buttons, nothing fancy.
I would very much appreciate any advice on which IDE/SDK to use :) Here's what I would like to have:
* Completely free, e.g., I will *not* be completely happy with free but restricted version of Qt
* Native multi-platform support, e.g., GTK+ looks almost perfect but it requires X11 on MacOSX (please correct me if I am wrong).
* Graphic based GUI builder. Does Eclipse support GUI builder extensions? Can I find a plugin for wxWidgeds? I am a beginner and it looked difficult to create the GUI using commands.
Also netbeans caught my eye, which include Qt toolkit I guess. But I don't want Qt.
Thanks a lot!
PS: I am reading that Eclipse in the Ubuntu software repository comes with many problems... Is that the case?
