Hi all,
I'm new to the list, I just subscribed because I have a case, that you
may well consider stupid, but I'm stuck with it and unable to go on...
Basically, I can't install wxLua to run under Linux. I tried several
ways, but to no avail...
The context is that, a few years ago, I began a proto videogame named
"Stars of Call" for my Sci-Fi universe "Hoshikaze 2250", as a TC using
the excellent, open-source NAEV space videogame. NAEV uses Lua as its
scripting engine, and so I found that language quite good. Now I've
decided to make some standalone dev under Lua and I need a GUI... So I
looked at possible GUIs and found wxWidgets and of course, wxLua.
I have two computers, one WIndows and one Linux and for a bunch of IRL
reasons, I must be able to develop on both and synch them in between.
I'm not a dev, I used to be, but that were the '90s and I never dived
totally into it. So I'm not so familiar with dev tools, not at all with
current dev tools, and I just have distant memories of then tools.
On the Windows (Win7), I installed wxLua and wxFormBuilder, and it works
fine. On the Linux (Ubuntu Xenial), I installed wxFormBuilder, and also
wxMaxima, both work fine. But I just can't get a working wxLua.
I first tried to install with the reps, but here's the output of the
"apt list --installed | grep wx" command. I may have fumbled somewhere
and that's why I have some extra packages for utopic among the xenial
packages...

Now, when I type wxLua or wxLuaEdit in a terminal, it tells me the exec
is not found. When I try to run some wxLua program that runs fine under
Windows, it tells me the following error :
lua: Main.lua:21: module 'wx' not found:

So, I'm wondering if I got wxWidgets itself, Lua itself, but not
actually the wxLua package to link them...
I first tried to follow the install page's simple method
(http://wxlua.sourceforge.net/docs/install.html) :
Install the wxwidgets and wxwidgets-devel prebuilt packages for your
Linux distribution and you're done...
* They may be called wxBase, wxGTK and wxBase-devel, wxGTK-devel
But I can't get apt recognize any of these 4 names. Is there a specific
repo to add ? I searched to internet, but to no avail, these seem to be
menial things, totally implicit for those who wrote everything I read.
But for me, it's not...
Then I downloaded the source package and tried to use the method listed
just after in the same page
(http://wxlua.sourceforge.net/docs/install.html). Creating and running
the ./configure-gtk2ud.sh script as is gives me :
leschouchous@Ryoh-Oh-Ki:~/Documents/installation/Dev/Langages/Lua/wxLua/wxLua-2.8.12.3-src/build_gtk2ud$

Failure was predictable and it was foolish of me to try to run it, as
there is anyway no "configure" script in the wxLua-2.8.12.3-src directory...
So I tried to search for a configure script within the source package,
but I only found it in "modules/wxstedit". I don't know what it's
supposed to be, but I tried it and it told me :
configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target

I'll go and look at the configure man page to understand what the 1st
error means. But as I'm not fluent in configure/make tools, I'm totally
unable to debug what was supposed to be, as read from the install page,
a quite straightforward process. I just hope it's only my lack of skill
and a small advice will remove the block...
So could someone help me ? Thanks in advance !
