Compiler construction tools?

For GUI you may have a look at the Wiki4D :
http://www.prowiki.org/wiki4d/wiki.cgi?AvailableGuiLibraries

Yesterday, I made a search about available GUI libraries, written in C and based
on SDL and OpenGL with the idea to make some bindings using Gregor Richards' BCD
available on dsource :
http://www.dsource.org/projects/bcd
BCD contains itself some bindings to GUI libraries: FLTK and Gtk-2.

I was interested by the following libraries : 
Agar : http://agar.csoft.org/index.html.en
and OTK : http://otk.sourceforge.net/
Both open source and highly portable.

You may also consider using Arc :
http://www.dsource.org/projects/arcgames
wich includes a GUI library :

However, that latter might not be as complete as Agar and OTK but is in the same
spirit.
