Julia v1.0 support

[clynamen]

Is the package being used with Julia v1.0

ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: Pkg not defined
Stacktrace:

I see the package is not updated since a while... are there any plan to update it? I would like to help with the development

I'm sorry but I don't have time to maintain the packages. Please feel free to fork the repo, or I can give you commit access if you want.

@r9y9 I see, I will fork the repo. It would be great to have PRs reviewed or commit access, both are fine for me.
I aim to restore the package for Julia v1.1 first and then focus on bringing support for more modules

I am currently evaluating to use the original OpenCV generator for python. Their approach could provide a more customizable and versatile binding, I will explore this option for a while https://github.com/clynamen/opencv

Hi @clynamen

I'm looking to work on this problem of integrating OpenCV with Julia as a part of GSoC 2020. Could you guide me a bit with regards to your findings on which way to create these bindings would be better? I looked at your https://github.com/clynamen/opencv and this approach seems interesting, on the other hand this repository already has some of the groundwork done.

Hello @archit120,
some months ago I wrote a few notes here but I didn't make any interesting progress. I still think the approach followed by the python API would be the best also for Julia.

I was trying to extend https://github.com/JuliaInterop/CxxWrap.jl for adding optional and positional parameters, but I am now focused on other projects.

Does CxxWrap.jl not support optional and positional parameters?
