[Wxlua-users] require("wx") and build stuff

[Francesco M. <f18...@ya...>]

Hi,
    I'm experimenting with wx module and I've got a few proposals for it:

1) the luamodule.wx.lua files in wxLua/apps/luamodule/src is an example, 
isn't it ? Shouldn't then go in wxLua/samples ?
wrapmodule.wx.lua is an utility so shouldn't it got in wxLua/utils ?

2) I'm getting a weird behaviour of lua's require: I'd like to make the 
"luamodule" app installable in $prefix/lib/lua/5.1; however, while 
everything works as expected if I put the compiled wx.so in 
/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1, it doesn't work if I put it in /usr/lib/lua/5.1:

wxlua-lua: luamodule.wx.lua:17: module 'wx' not found:
         no field package.preload['wx']
         no file './wx.so'
         no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/wx.so'
         no file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/loadall.so'
stack traceback:
         [C]: in function 'require'
         luamodule.wx.lua:17: in main chunk
         [C]: ?

I tried to set LUA_PATH in luamodule.wx.lua to:
LUA_PATH="/usr/lib/lua/5.1/?.so;"
*before* the require() call but then I get:

wxlua-lua: error loading module 'wx' from file '/usr/lib/lua/5.1/wx.so':
         /usr/lib/lua/5.1/wx.so:1: unexpected symbol near 'char(127)'
stack traceback:
         [C]: ?
         [C]: in function 'require'
         luamodule.wx.lua:17: in main chunk
         [C]: ?

that "unexpected symbol near 'char(127)'" is not clear to me !

This strange behaviour (lua bug?) is easy to reproduce also putting the 
wx.so file in /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1 and then setting:

LUA_PATH="/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/?.so"

So, it looks that the global variable LUA_PATH, described at 
http://www.lua.org/pil/8.1.html, does not work... is anyone able to 
reproduce this "bug" ?

Thanks,
Francesco
