You might want to consider Qt. It is a very common, easy to use, and high quality library for making GUIs accross a large number of platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Embedded Linux, Android, Blackberry, etc...). It also has its own IDE that comes with it, complete with a form designer for your GUI.
If you don't really like Qt, there is also wxWidgets (which is now version 3, I believe). This seems to me to be a lower-level library: It takes more to get the same amount done as Qt, though you can get more control more easily. However, you rarely need that much control: Think of wxWidgets as a sort of a wrapper around things like xlib or WinAPI.

+1 for qt.
There is a book you can buy called "C++ Gui Programming With Qt" that I thought was a pretty good book but after buying it I realized that there are several pdf files of it posted online here is one: http://www.bogotobogo.com/cplusplus/files/c-gui-programming-with-qt-4-2ndedition.pdf
