Hello everyone.

Virtually any program I write I will want to work anywhere regardless of
OS or architecture.
Does anyone have any recommendations for libraries to use for portable
programs?

The main thing I am looking at for now is a widget set- should I use
gtk, qt or something else?

I recommend Wx Widgets, as it translates itself to the native environment automatically. It looks a hell of a lot better than GTK on windows, and also eases portability to OSX.

It is well-known that I am blunt and unsophisticated. It's largely your fault if you object to this.
