May anybody to recommend us a development tool for this issue.

Thank's in advance,

It depends. Do you mean you're writing a graphical program,
or do you mean you're making a graphical toolkit that works on
both Unix and Windows? Or do you mean you're writing a
completely different display mechanism than either X servers or
Windows?

If it's the first, vi and GCC are pretty good (GCC 2.95
actually properly supports C++ now). If it's the second, look
into Qt, which already works on both platforms. If it's the
third, I wish you luck.

One word: Java! The beauty of this language is that all you need is
a JVM (Java Virtual Machine) on your platform of choice. I used
to move class files between Win 95 and Solaris all the time. As to
development environments, there are a plethora available for Java.
Borland makes JBuilder, IBM makes Visual Age for Java, Symantec
has Visual Cafe, even Microsoft has J++, although I can't recommend
that particular product. True cross-platform portability along with a
very intelligently designed, object-oriented language. Combine with
CORBA and you're looking at an enterprise solution. Applications,
applets and servlets can all be developed with Java, along with n-tier
architectures. Highly recommended!

Have you considered Tcl/Tk? It's very easy to get started in. Supported
on most platforms. Can even do native look and feel on whichever
platform it's running on.
