Currently the project requires a Windows environment to compile which is really inconvenient to do.

This is because GTK(4)-rs is currently used for the GUI. GTK needs to be built before building the project and due to it's complexity, it can't be built easily for MinGW without a lot of time.

In addition, GTK requires a lot of DLLs to be copied in order to have a portable install.

Switching to another GUI library that supports cross compiling on Mac would allow more easy and streamlined development and testing.

I plan on migrating the GUI code over to FLTK-rs, which should be more portable and be compatible with cross-compiling.
