I have just started learning c++ a few days ago and the book I have got does not cover any of the gui aspects in it. Ultimately I am wanting to make simple multilayer games(2-8 players). I've been doing some reading on gui libraries but have no idea what would be best or what to look for. Is there a gui library you would suggest for cross platform game and why?

For most applications a typical toolkit like Nokia's Qt or WxWidgets is just fine.

If you're planning on having an OpenGL-based game anyhow, you might take a look at GLUI to see if it adds enough tools to make your GUI development easier.

The best free one is CEGUI.

Why? Because there is no other that can really compete with it.

Ogre3D has some other GUIs too as Plugin, but as standalone CEGUI is leading to my knowledge.
