I’m trying to work on a gui app and using julia as the main language but i didn’t know how i could import the wxWidgets library
what i did:
i installed this [https://github.com/JuliaBinaryWrappers/wxWidgets\_jll.jl](https://github.com/JuliaBinaryWrappers/wxWidgets_jll.jl)
and tried with ccall but bumped into a wall 😅

See: [Interface to wxwidgets?](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/interface-to-wxwidgets/23152)
Most people in Julia seem to use Gtk for cross-platform GUI work.

Yes, I know that but i tried to compile gtk4 but run into a dependency hell which is related to other packages i’m using on my system
so I switched to wxWidgets.
and yes, I could use gtk3 but I don’t want to because the migration is kind of pain
…
I found this just now and it’s not a complete project: [https://github.com/HatsuneMiku/Wx.jl](https://github.com/HatsuneMiku/Wx.jl)
and i don’t know if i should help with it

I think I just should use gtk for now,

this project seems dead, and i might could contribute to the Gtk.jl
