The library is incompatible with itself depending on the configure time options (see string constructors vs unicode string constructors) Its ABI/API changes too often (ok, that is the result of they fixing lots of bugs that require radical changes, but they could haven't been on first place...) Its architecture is a tad old. > I actually find it very > nice to code in wx, much easier than GTK or MFC or raw Win32 API. Try Qt or ewl/etk if you don't like the default tcl/tk look, all 4 are quite nicer architecture-wise and less painful to be handled as dependence. MFC and winapi are surely worst than wx, gtk on the other hand is simple and relatively easy to learn. The main/only point of wx is that mimics quite well some sort of native look&feel, and that is just nice if you have to handle windows users or idiotic managers. -- Luca Barbato Gentoo/linux Gentoo/PPC http://dev.gentoo.org/~lu_zero
