I have seen the calculator sample that exactly what made me go "OK
lets look into this"
This is why i spent a little more time getting things working.
Here is what happened. Of course I did not read the documentation
and after building wxLua I went to the samples directory I saw
that the files had a lua extension so I assumed I could run them
from the command line by using the lua command. That did not work
for all only luamodule.wx.lua worked. So I stated adding
package.cpath =
";;../lib/?.so;../lib/vc_dll/?.dll;../lib/bcc_dll/?.dll;../lib/mingw_dll/?.dll;"
require("wx")
and
wx.wxGetApp():MainLoop()
to all the samples really thinking it was kind of weird that the
samples did not work
and I assumed them to be outdated. Of course the best thing is to blame me for
not being smart :p but this was my first encounter with wxLua(just so
you know , perhaps just adding a bit of documentation inside the
samples telling how to run them would be enough)
, I did not know at that point that there was a wxlua command. I
think my sample make sence.
I would be willing to create a few sample usages of the same sample
(embeded , stantalone running with lua and running with wxlua) I would
have given me a hint on how to use wxLua.

See my comments above , they way I looked at the none of the samples
where working.

The Nokia 770 and N800 are not phones but internet tablets(you can not make
gprs phone calls with them) They run a small linux distro a x server ,
gtk etc(moost of the stuff is open source). So I don't know if wxLua will work
on simbian phones

This was a screen shot taken from the actual device (using x11vnc).
since it is linux based it is not really an emulator but there is the
maemo.org website
where you can download a sdk, after that you can compile and test programs
on your linux machine by running a small x server (Xephyr) and
starting the maemo desktop.
If still interesting for you feel free to ask for more. I would like
to provide .deb package for the nokia 770 and N800 if possible with
running samples
