I had the exact same question when I started developing my app a few 
months ago . I wrote it in GLUT and GTK3 for the dialogue parts and it 
worked ok , but that setup has it's limitations (as I would have found 
later) . There is some implementation of OpenGL in GTK3 , but I never 
tried it , because it involved more work , it may prove easier than I 
thought , donno . So after some research I found that Qt is ,by far, the 
best environment for cross platform development . Sorry that I'm kind 
promoting it on the GTKmm list , but really - gtk is just not cross 
platform ,its "capable to run on Windows" . I've been dealing with Qt 
and OpenGL on Windows/Linux for at least a month now - if you have any 
questions feel free to write me , I'd be more than happy to share what 
I've learned .

        Hello everyone!<br>

        I have an idea of C++ application (actually GUI for it) and I
        think I need to do some 3D graphics in it and I need to run it
        also on Windows.<br>

        Now comes the tricky part. I think GTK3 would be way to go for a
        future. In Linux Ihave libraries ready from packages but on
        Windows I couldn't find them. Also while investigating I found
        that gtkglext(mm) is years old and they are using gtk2.<br>
        <br>
        What are my choices today for developing crossplatform program
        with OpenGL?<br>
        <br>
        Best regards,<br>
