Re: [Caml-list] WxWidgets?

["SooHyoung Oh" <shoh@compiler.kaist.ac.kr>]

I've followed wxHaskell method and implemented some of widgets
with Ocaml.
Implementing all of widgets of wxEiffel C wrapper requires much time,
so I'm finding more systematic method.

Can you give me more hints about your comments about
how to generate Ocaml binding using wxDirect?

Thanks.
