Can we test in configure if the lua and lua devel packages are installed and use those sources? Too much work? I guess it would work like wxWidgets use of the jpeg, png, etc libs. I don't know how to do any of this. :( > Once we get this up and running I think we should also > > 1) add our "wx" module to this list: > > http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaBinaryModules (look at the end) > > 2) publish in the next release a single .ZIP download which contains only > the > wxLua+wxWidgets DLLs + wx.dll module; so that users could just unzip them and > start using wx.dll module as for any other lua module. This would be great, I can compile them with MSVC 6 which I think should be the best since it generates the smallest binaries. Can mingw use dlls use VC dlls?
