Hi,

ok, no problem

yes, they'll work for us since I created them and uploaded the links 
above in lua wiki & on my website ;-)

ok, I'll try

oops; I just meant wxLua/lib & wxLua/bin... sorry

again I mistyped the path...

ok

right, that makes things more simmetric :-)

sure; exactly like wxWidgets also have DSW/DSP files.

yes, it can; I'll set up all this stuff when done with modules bakefile; 
first I'll create modules\build stuff...

I'll let you know,
