I need to start using wxLua in a real project in corperate setting so I
wanted to know if the build issues with OpenGL are fixed. Also if there is
going to be another Linux and Windows installer?

Now saying this, it seems like I am unhappy and I am not meaning to. I just
wanted to get your thoughts on a few issues I saw. Thanks for your time and
patients.
