wondering is wxdev for me???

If you are using wxDev-C++ for your wxWidgets design, please ask your questions here instead of in IDE Related.

so the answer there would be .....yes.

Since wxDevC++ uses the GCC compiler which is available on all platforms, you should have no trouble moving your code to these platforms,

Is there any way to do this from inside wxDev-C++ running on MSW or do need to compile source on an OS X system for example.

There has been some success with allowing wxDevC++ to run from within Linux, and there is some investigation going on wrt allowing wxDev to generate Linux compatible makefiles. The upshot of this would be that you could run wxDev under Linux (under WINE) and with a bit of fiddling allow wxDev to use the Linux based compiler and tools, to make executables for your flavour of Linux.

A to Mac, unless there is something like Wine for Mac then you will need to find another method of compiling your code on that platform.

However, the code generated by wxdev should have no problems being compiled under the Mac system.

You could also consider CodeBlocks. It runs on OS X as well as the other platforms you mentioned.

See http://www.codeblocks.org/

It includes wxSmith - a tool for designing a gui. See http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?ti ... h_features

Yes. Look at the wxWidgets license: http://www.wxwidgets.org/about/feature2.htm

The license of CodeBlocks is GPL, see http://www.codeblocks.org/license.shtml

.. but that only means that you will have to publish any modifications you make to the CodeBlocks source code - and you will probably not modify it.

wxSmith generates code but does not force a license on you. The source code of your own applications are only affected by the libraries you link with, in this case wxWidgets.
