I suggest gtkmm. It's modern, portable and object oriented. And it doesn't use a weird pre-compiler :)

Qt is the best I think.

and it's portable, so you can (mostly) use the same code on Windows & Linux (and other OSes). – Mat Mar 15 '11 at 10:47
Qt show some time of problem of macro.like QOBJECT doesnot support ifndef(__linux) or #ifndef __WIN32 – Vikram Ranabhatt Mar 15 '11 at 10:59
That's not actually true. Qt uses its own macros: http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/qtglobal.html#Q_WS_X11 – Casey May 06 '11 at 00:26

Use Qt, available both on GNU/Linux and Windows. Easy to learn and use, and it have a very good documentation.
