I'm fairly certain there are binary packages for Linux. I could be wrong though. If I am, I hope someone will build some. As wxLua is intended to be cross-platform, it would be odd if a generic build for Linux is not possible.
One thing you will almost certainly need is the wxWidgets help files that go with the version currently used in wxLua. On Windows the best form is the wx.chm files, not sure which is best for Linux. The documentation in those is good, though aimed at C, so it takes a bit of thought to make them work in Lua, but between that documentation, and the script examples supplied with wxLua, and questions here, it is possible to do a lot. Except serial port stuff, apparently, but that's another subject...
