Hi, all
I want to develop a program based on GTK+2, but I can't find a effective
tools for GUI design, WYSIWYG may be a good idea :)

I've been looking into this for some time now. The problem is that *nix
environments are still somewhat chaotic as in, no standardisation between
window managers and no one Window Manager has enough marketshare to justify
a dedicated GUI Builder.

I have been looking into WxWindows as an interface shim. However, their
codebase structure isn't entirely compatible with Eclipse CDT (meaning, I
can't get it to build under Eclipse CDT. stand-alone-yes, under CDT-No).

There is also the other side of this, where a GUI Builder works on a
resource file which is compiled with a resource compiler. I'm running into
various versions of "incomplete implementation" with those.

Unlike the Java environment, where Jigloo does a reasonable job, the C++
environment is much varied and difficult to work with. Ideally, I would like
a GUI Builder to work in both *nix and Windows, with ANY Window manager.

If anyone else has a better answer then I would be very interested as well.

Have you looked into Glade (http://glade.gnome.org/) and libglade
(http://www.jamesh.id.au/software/libglade/)?

Why can't you get WxWidgets to build inside the CDT? I thought that the CDT
just called a random build command, which should (in theory at least) be the
same build command you use to build WxWidgets outside of Eclipse.

Yes, it should work. I personally managed to do it. Now, I build my GUI
using wxGlade and, after code generation, I add my event-handling code in
Eclipse with the CDT. After that, I can compile it with no problems (I
must use a lot of preprocessor defines but it definitely works). I can
post my compilation options if you want to, but I don't have them here.

Maybe I should clarify, my primary development environment is
Win2KAS/CygWin. I don't do *nix workstations much anymore, reserving *nix
for specialty servers and fuzzballs.

I thank many for the Glade links. I wasn't aware of Glade until now.
