Yes I know it is C++ and tried CxxWrap as well (on windows with Julia 1.7) and it does not work either.

> Hi, I am trying to use CxxWrap on windows. I am trying to reproduce the “hello world” on the github page. Questions: 1/ where is #include "jlcxx/jlcxx.hpp" ? 2/ how do I compile to a shared library? ( i have gcc) 3/ does anyone have a step by step tutorial for windows? The documentation seem a bit light for beginners. Thank you

Julia C++ support does not seem to be mature yet. I guess I will have to stick with Python/R for now.
