There is a install.html file in the docs dir that should help, also here
http://wxlua.sourceforge.net/docs/install.html

These errors make no sense? WXLUACLASS is a struct without any
wxClassInfo at all! You get the wxClassInfo typically from a
DECLARE_[ABSTRACT/DYNAMIC]_CLASS in a class declaration.

What are the line numbers and a little bit of the code? What version
of wxLua are you using, one of the snapshots?

Maybe you're defining WXDLLIMPEXP_WXLUA to something strange?

You should definitely try to compile the samples using the build files
in the build dirs as a start. I use the MSVC 2005, the free GUI
compiler without any problems building using the non-dll DEBUG or
RELEASE settings.
