Hi, guys,
I decided to update IUP.jl for Julia v1 ([https://github.com/disciple-of-reason/IUP.jl/tree/juliav1](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](https://github.com/joa-quim/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 😉
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](https://github.com/pemryan/IUP.jl) Hope this could of some help.
