First things first, how exactly do you compile it? I first do a cvs checkout of wxLua, then create a dir wxLua/config_osx and run $../configure --prefix=/Users/john/wx/wxLua/wxLua/config_osx --disable-shared $make
(fix the bugs you mentioned and keep running make until it works, the next snapshot will contain them :) I get some binaries in the wxLua/config_osx/bin dir and when I run them I get an dialog about not having Classic installed? Or if I run ./wxLuaFreeze ../../samples/scribble.wx.lua I get the program, but can't give it focus. I searched the web and on the wxWidgets wiki I found that I need to make a bundle? Could you elaborate on how this is done so I can add it to the install.html docs and maybe even automate it if possible?

I have also (finally) got my ancient mac working and have gotten it going too.

It compiles ok for me and I don't see any changes between wxWidgets 2.6.3 and 2.7.x for the include/wx/mac/carbin/dnd.h file. > http://www.algonet.se/~afb/wx/wxlua-2.6.2.0-macgetpixel.patch For wxColour::GetPixel I see that for osx it returns WXCOLORREF == char[6] while its actually struct RGBColor { short red; short green; short blue } so it's a little odd that wxWidgets is doing it's own thing in the first place. Secondly, I have greped for WXCOLORREF and found that it's not used anywhere in the headers except wxColor so I have just changed the bindings to have "!%mac long GetPixel()" in bindings/gdi.i, therefore that function won't have a binding in osx. I think this is good enough since I can't think of who would need it and since there's nothing they can do with it anyway, I think it's ok. > However, you need to use --disable-shared and compile wxLua statically. > It is missing somehow symbols from the internal Lua library otherwise. > This is probably just the same bug as earlier, with dynamic linking ? Thanks for the heads up, it seems that for osx you always use static libs?

I have committed equivalent changes. I'm only testing in wxWidgets 2.7.1 (cvs head) and reading the headers for 2.6.3 for changes. > Once I sort out the issues that wxLua and wxStEdit has with building > a Universal Binary, I will submit a pre-built binary for wxLua/wxMac. > (it doesn't seem to understand multi-arch "fat" builds, and -isysroot > arguments etc. And libstedit.dylib symlink seemed to be missing etc.) That's be great, again please let me know how you're doing the bundle thing, but I would definitely appreciate a universial binary, can that be compiled on a non intel machine? I'm really in the dark about compiling on osx, this is a first for me.
