Update to Julia v0.7 or v1.0

[Ph0non]

Are there plans to update this package to the latest Version of Julia?

E.g. for the build.jl the function to determine the OS changed:

•The operating system identification functions: is_linux, is_bsd, is_apple, is_unix, and is_windows, have been deprecated in favor of Sys.islinux, Sys.isbsd, Sys.isapple, Sys.isunix, and Sys.iswindows, respectively

I have it mostly working on my computer, I should clean things up and submit a PR. The main issue still to resolve is the installation of Qt itself, but I suppose I could do an intermediate release where the user has to do this himself.

That would be awesome!

+1 Would love to see this work on 1.0

OK, I have committed what works for me to the master branch, see the README on how to install this. Note that this requires building JlQML manually for now.

Before making a release, I will have to look into building the binaries using BinaryBuilder, the main challenge for that is getting a compatible Qt built.

Which toolset should Qt be built with on Windows? I have tried using pre-built binaries from https://www.qt.io/offline-installers, the mingw73_64 version to be more specific, and I could build JLQML with mingw-w64 however when pre-compiling QML I get an error when trying to wrap libjlqml:
ERROR: Symbol for type QVariant was not found. A Value of type null was found instead. Searched modules: Main Main Base CxxWrap Base

I'm assuming that means I'm using the wrong Qt libraries.

Currently, this is easiest with the Visual Studio binaries, but it requires building libcxxwrap-julia (the CxxWrap binaries) and jlqml using Visual Studio. There is a bit more info here: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/linker-error-with-cxxwrap-on-windows10/19967/2?u=barche

But I urgently need to streamline this :)

Is Julia 1.1.1 supported now? The documentation is not clear. https://github.com/barche/QML.jl#installation

It should on master, see issue #61 for more complete instructions.

Can this issue be closed?

[barche]

Yep!
