I already don't understand how you managed to do what wxLua is right

Oke, that sounds promising.

I assume you mean the bakefile stuff.
I am not a fan of bakefile, never appealed to me.
But Premake would fit wxlua perfectly ;-)
I am using Cmake, and only because i can understand it, and it is well
documented etc.
And what i like is that it is possible to generate the binding during
the build process.
With 2.9 all is unicode, and also other things have become more simple.

I am not aware so much changed. But you must be right. With wxArt2D i
had to change not to much.
But that was easy, wxLua has to deal with all changes.

Maybe i will try once more. The main thing is that users are asking for
2.9, and i can only offer them half.
But then again, i never had a question on the use of wxLua within
wxArt2D, so i guess most user don't enable the option :-(
To bad, since it makes so much possible.

Oke i remember that.
And if i can be of help somehow, let me know.
At least i can test ;-)
