This would be a minimal program with a wxApp:OnInit that creates a
wxLuaState and runs the string that you provide in minimallua.cpp
which you generate using bin2c.lua. The file that gets #included and
the name of the c-string would be hard coded, but bin2c.lua can
generate files and the c-string they contain with any name, so this is
easy enough for people.
Big downside - I think that it can only handle a single lua file,
maybe people can concatenate their files together before running
bin2c.lua on it?
It would reside in
apps/wxluaminimal/src
minimal.cpp - contains subclassed wxApp that runs
minimallua.cpp - user provides this file from bin2c.lua
contains const char* minimallua = {lua program};
Out of the box the program would fail to compile since you have to
provide the lua program c-string in minimallua.cpp. In order to not
have cvs try to update things I think this would be the best route we
can take. Alternatively, we put in the minimal.wx.lua and just be
careful about not overwriting it if any of the developers use it with
their own programs.
This is the best I think I can do to make it easy to create your own
standalone wxLua executables. It's the closest to pythons freeze that
I can do right now. When I briefly looked at freeze I thought that it
was a little beyond the scope of what I want to get involved in.
Unfortunately the creator of their standalone wxLua programs would
need a C++ compiler and would have to compile wxLua as well, but
thanks to Francesco that's pretty easy.
Any thoughts on this or does someone know how to append data to an exe
that can be accesed
as const char* so
that a compiler wouldn't be needed?
