Ok, after spending some time reading up about XLib it appears Motif and Xt are a better way to spend my time. Is the motif library a separate download or is it part of my install (Mandrake 9)?

for me it was a seperate download, I had to get I think openmotiff, Motiff was proprietary or something.

I'm still confused about this whole toolkit concept. Suppose I use the motif toolkit (someone suggested it because they're a unix person). Does it work on a system that does not have motif? And is the same true of any other toolkit? I want something that's going to work on all X environments and I'm having difficulty finding anything higher up than XLib.

The lowest common denominator of toolkits is Xt. As far as I know, all other toolkits are ultimately derived from it, including motif.Originally posted by FillYourBrain

QT is pretty easy to use for non-comercial projects http://www.trolltech.com/ and you also have
gtk or gtkmm. These will work insofar that the user has the installed the runtime libaries.
ok, now I've also got cygwin on my WinXP machine. no real IDE for cygwin as far as I can tell so I'm stuck with Emacs I believe. However since its on the same machine as Windows, I should be able to just code in VC++ and jump over to the cygwin window to compile. This'll help in my portability checks anyway.
