[Work in progress] Update of IUP.jl (gui library) for v1

General Usage
1

Hi, guys,

I decided to update IUP.jl for Julia v1 (https://github.com/disciple-of-reason/IUP.jl/tree/juliav1)

I made the package to load, made a few examples work, and - since this is the first thing I’m doing in Julia - encountered a couple of problems I don’t know how to fix yet.

  1. the IUP_CD and IUP_IM packages refused to load (Julia didn’t find them, suggested installing IUP_CD / IUP_IM packages). I’ve made them submodules for now. Should they be split out into another package ?

  2. julia refuses to load dlls other than iup.dll (ERROR: error compiling cbox: could not load library “iupcontrols”), so lof of things won’t work

Any help would be, of course, appreciated.

Cheers.

Wouldn’t it be better to submit PRs to IUP.jl instead of starting a new fork?

I don’t know the intentions but actually in order to prepare a PR one has to fork the project.

There is not that much to submit right now, and until it gets better, i thought I won’t poke a repo that has been resting in peace for 2 years :wink:

Once I solve at least loading of the rest of the dlls, improve rest of the functions that take variable number of arguments, I’ll send PR.

Well, I don’t remember to have had troubles loading all the needed dll’s so I might have had a quick try if it was a PR (not very strong in git anyway).

If you want to invest work on this package I’m happy to grant you commit privileges.

Several years ago, I updated IUP.jl for julia 0.6, it works well. A later update for julia 1.2 works partially, not all test passed. The forked repo at GitHub - pemryan/IUP.jl: Julia interface to IUP windowing toolkit Hope this could of some help.
