Are their any libraries similar to mono but for the c++ language? I know boost exist but i like mono much more then boost. -edit- I'm looking to do more. Like play sound easier (crossplatform), GUI, load image, time, etc. I guess i am looking for what people might consider an engine or a large library.

Mono is a .NET implementation. Mono is NOT a library. There is NO Mono for C++. At least, not yet.

Try the STL collections...Has nothing to do with .NET, but they are a nice collection of collections (lol) and make C++ life easier.

If you're wanting to work with Managed C++ a la .Net, then you would just use Mono. They have a page describing how to go about it. The only catch is that you have to compile on Windows, as there is not yet any flavor of GCC that outputs .Net CLI for C++.

To be honest, though, if you're going to use Mono, you might as well move into C#. It's a much cleaner language, IMO.

I think you want a multi-platform framework, such as Qt
