Best Free Cross-Platform, GUI-Toolkit?
Greetings!
What's the best [free] cross-platform GUI-Toolkit?
There seem to be a large range of toolkits available, [see http://www.atai.org/guitool/], and since I've never coded GUI before, I thought to ask here.
Preferably I'm looking for a toolkit which can be packaged into a single binary (ie; without .dll or .o files), for a project I'm about to begin.
My project entails creating a very lightweight IDE, with support for the most popular, compiled programming-languages.
Please recommend the toolkit which you think would be best suit this project.
Thank you,
Alec Taylor

Well, as the site says Qt is 'best'.
I don't know about static linking though. If I recall correctly, if you want to statically link to a LGPL library you have to license your program with GPL. Though that's probably not what you're concerned about..
What do you have against dlls though?
