    "Best" is subjective, but I note that Stroustrup considered FLTK as suitable for an introductory book, so perhaps you should give it a try and see if it suits your purposes.

"Finding the smallest program that demonstrates the error" is a powerful debugging tool.

    Since you are getting a error that might be caused by the library needing to be built; I suggest looking for one that is already in binary form that is compatible with the Compiler you are using.

    Edit: Decide the error is more likely an IDE configuration issue of missing header search paths for the header.

    If you're running on windows, you can get pre-built wxWidgets libraries, and install them. You then need to modify your project compiler settings so that it knows where to look for the header and library files.
    What can this strange device be?
    When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
    It's got wires that vibrate and give music
    What can this thing be that I found?
