right ;)


> maybe seperate includes and cflags.
well, actually I think that we should not need to define any special 
symbol in cflags; as shown below, I think that just using a 
-I${includedir}/lua should work (as long as wxlua-based apps also 
include the `wx-config --cflags`!).

Even if I think it's rather unprobable, in future some other flags which 
are not simple -I could be added as 'cflags', so I think it's best to 
add a variable like

includepaths=-I${includedir}/lua

that you will be able to retrieve as:

pkg-config wxlua --variable=includepaths

See

for more info.

Yes, I understand; fortunately pkg-config is small but powerful ;)

pkg-config also exists for windows.
I've never tried it on win32, though. Also, I think that a WXLUA var 
should be enough there. (if I would use wxLua in a bakefile-based 
application I would add a WXLUA_DIR option which can be used by the user 
to specify wxLua location ).

sure, through --variable and -libs-only-L, --libs-only-l and maybe 
--msvc-syntax if you don't want the -l.

in /lib/pkgconfig or /usr/lib/pkgconfig or /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig 
depending on the prefix. pkgconfig searchs all of them.

sorry, what do you mean by "Pc" here ?
