Re: [wxlua-users] Preliminary wxLua Binaries for 2.8.12 for MSW

[John L. <jla...@gm...>]

Ok... lets start fresh and not try to debug the old stuff.

Download 2.8.12.1 and try it. I have tested with
luasocket-2.0.2-lua-5.1.2-Win32-vc8.zip downloaded from Lua binaries
and it works.

This is how I did it, put luasocket's bin/ mime/ socket/ dirs as
subdirs of the wxLua/bin dir (or anywhere, but then adjust
LUA_PATH...) then you can run :

lua myapp.lua
wxLua myapp.lua
wxLuaFreeze myapp.lua
wxLuaEdit myapp.lua

where myapp.lua has

------
require("socket")
print("Is socket here ? ", socket)

require("wx")
print(print, print_lua)

f = wx.wxFrame(wx.NULL, -1, "Hello")
f:Show()
wx.wxGetApp():MainLoop()
------

Success!

Please read here to understand what lua51.dll and lua5.1.dll are all about:

http://wxlua.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wxlua/trunk/wxLua/modules/luaproxydll/proxydll.c?revision=100&view=markup

DO NOT COPY someone else's lua51.dll into the wxLua bin dir, it will never work.

ps. Note that I don't think you ever got error messages from wx.dll...
When lua.exe is run it does a pcall() on the input file and so it gets
the error messages, I don't believe it's even possible for wxLua to
get them. I think what you got are print() statements? Though, it has
been a long time since 2.8.10 and I have not retested it. I have
reinstated the error handler, but it's never called, but it's there
and will pop up a dialog if it ever gets called. Run your program from
a DOS prompt and the print and error messages will be printed to the
console.
