Re: [wxlua-users] how to build wxLua for Linux

[Ildar M. <ild...@gm...>]

Wow! that's complicated!
May I suggest using pre-built wx.so (BTW, no installation needed) from ZBS
<http://studio.zerobrane.com/> or its build script
<https://github.com/pkulchenko/ZeroBraneStudio/blob/master/build/build-linux.sh>
?
Best regards, Ildar.
