I'm looking for a window... ugh... thing for OpenGL, I've been using SDL but more recently found that its not quite up to my needs in at least any code I've seen. I'd like to find some GUI library that allows me to develop using OpenGL (and SDL if at all possible) with a menu bar, possibly options at the side, and a working-out-of-the-box close button. Qt is the sort of thing I'm looking for, but I'd like to work with something that doesn't force me to make it open source.
A quick list of things I want, a working close button, ability to use OGL, cross platform, any licence that doesn't force me to become open source, free, and the ability to go full screen and change resolution on the fly.
I have searched myself, I'm not a lazy person really ;) I just want to get some opinions here before I dive off into anything and find its not really suitable for my needs.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Try wxWidgets. There's a link on using it with OpenGL here.
When Qt 4.5 comes out (later this month, I think) it will be LGPL, so if you can wait a couple weeks, you can use Qt without having to open-source your program.
