If you want to do cross platform 3d work use GLUT which is a simple set of routines
to create a window to draw openGL in etc. Works on Unix and windows and others
(see http://www.opengl.org). SDL is also cross platform for Linux and Windows and has
some GLUT like features in its 1.1 release http://www.devolution.com.
Personlly for the 3d code I do I use OpenGL GLUT gtk gtkglarea and Good oul
C with -ansi -Wall on to make sure it ports well :)
