qt - CONFUSED -- c++ 3rd party library, new to c++ -


(mingw32, windows xp) hello, attempting migrate java c++. confused , frustrated finding, installing, , compiling non-standard c++ libraries. in java it's convenient stuffed every functionality , documentation ever needed in java's standard api. there list of essential c++ library such threading, gui, networking, image\ audio processing, xml, etc.etc. in 1 place? or possibly, offered single package?

i tried installing qt library weeks , wont compile. in java used learn trial-and-error learn new aspect of functionality, impossible if can't fetch , run new api in first place.

please, need suggestion, wanted break free of java's abstraction, want able use c++ before decided shooting myself in head.

the c++ standard library extremely light. contains near functionality offered java runtimes or .net clr.

the boost libraries add whole bunch of functionality c++, not (if any) in area of user interface.

for ui, there's question of platform you're targetting. if it's win32, can use straight win32 api (mostly designed c, there c++ wrappers parts of it). if want cross-platform, you're looking @ qt or gtk (although there others).

but, andrew said: "why want learn c++ anyway?". don't me wrong: program in c++ living, , enjoy (although i'm beginning suspect case of stockholm syndrome). if had start again, i'd go more modern language , environment (java or c#; or ruby or python).
