[Question] Wails V2: Additional Requirements: Outdated or gcc and XCode still required?

[MeerMusik]

Hello.

I am new to Go and Wails. My Question is in the Topic Title. To be more precise:

When looking at

https://wails.io/docs/gettingstarted/installation#platform-specific-dependencies

it says that Linux still requires GCC and macOS still requires XCode.

Is this still the case because Wails depends on / uses CGO? I am just wondering as for Windows, there is no mentioning of the Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler as an additional requirement.

My main OS is Windows. I have not tried to run Wails on Linux yet. I do not have access to a Mac.

My Infos are based on Go 1.19.0 and Wails v2.0.0-beta.43.

Thank you very much in advance! :)

All that information is correct: Windows does not use cgo 👍

Just to be perfectly clear:

• Linux still requires GCC
• macOS still requires XCode

Correct?
