I all,

But the first thing I must do is deciding what collection of libraries and tools
to use. I've been wondering on the internet for a couple of days and the most
promising basic library I've found is wxWidgets, so if I had to start today I
probably use this with some nice highlighter editor and get going.

The thing I'm looking for is a true platform for standalone (closed, cause I
might be using this in my business for costumers in the future.) native (so no
scripting) application development. Things who are of the table from start are
Java and .NET (One is too slow the other too MS).

Also suggestions on what IDE/editor/debugger to use are very welcome, in short
any comment on this subject would be great.

wxWidgets isn't bad, but for serious, heavy-UI applications, Qt is far, far
better.  Its QtCreator IDE & debugger isn't bad either, and is easy to get
started with.  And QtDesigner, its drag-n-drop UI developer, is one of the few
such tools I've seen that generates useful code.  Good stuff.

May I ask, what kind of applications are you developing that require native
code, and for which Java is too slow?  These days, device drivers,
graphically-intense video games, and computationally-expensive scientific apps
are about the only things I can think of that require native code... and with
good wrapper libraries, even most of those are questionable.

I all, I've been a Delphi programmer both private and work related for over 15 years , but I think it's time to take a dive in the multiplatform world. So in order to get the hang of things I decided to start a new LDraw application in means of a (...) (14 years ago, 27-May-10, to lugnet.cad.dev)
