Boost.UI
Boost.UI is a C++ User Interface (GUI) Boost library that
- is cross-platform
- uses native system-provided widgets
- has STL-like and Boost-like API
- compatible with other Boost libraries
- supports modern C++11/14/17 features

Build instructions and dependencies
See build instructions.
Tested compilers: GCC 5.4.0, Clang 3.8.0, Visual C++ 9.0 (2008), 14.0 (2015), Travis CI and AppVeyor compilers.
Boost.UI depends on Boost.Config, Boost.Core, Boost.Function, Boost.Bind, Boost.Move, Boost.Optional, Boost.Tribool, Boost.Range and wxWidgets libraries. Also optionally Boost.Chrono and Boost.Date_Time could be used. Note that corresponding classes from C++11 Standard also could be used with Boost.UI if available.
Boost.UI is a binary library (not header-only) and must be built separately.
