Build GUI with wxFormBuilder

Installation

Windows

Download and install the release wxFormBuilder_v3.6.2.exe.

Linux

The apt-get wxFormBuilder is out dated and should not be used. This project uses wxPython v4.0.1 (Phoenix) in combination with mainline wxFormBuilder v3.6.2 which must be build from source.
