[wxlua-users] How to compile wxLua as module for -original- lua?

[Hakki D. <dog...@tr...>]

Hi,

(Mingw, wxLua cvs, wx2.7.2/wx2.8 ANSI and Unicode, WinXP Turkish)

I want a wx.dll usable with standart lua.
Is it possible with supplied makefiles?

ps.
If I compile wxLua with the following options;
SHARED = 1, WX_SHARED = 1,USE_LUAMODULE = 1

It gives a wx.dll depending on
LUA5.1.DLL
WXLUA_MSW28U_WXBIND.DLL
WXLUA_MSW28U_WXLUA.DLL

But WXLUA_MSW28U_WXBIND.DLL also depends on
WXLUA_MSW28U_LUA.DLL (which already has lua library in it)

Since the modified lua that wxLua was using is a little bit of a
headache for the above reason, I've rewritten the coroutine handling
code to work with the original lua.

So... to solve your problem we have to rebuild the build files. I hope
I can get the bakefile we use to work tomorrow.

In the meantime, if you get an update from CVS or the latest snapshot,
hacking it should be pretty easy since there shouldn't be any
difference between
WXLUA_MSW28U_LUA.DLL
LUA5.1.DLL

I'll let you know after the rebuild.

Thanks.

Indeed now LUA5.1.DLL == WXLUA_MSW28U_LUA.DLL

I assume new makefiles won't generate WXLUA_MSW28U_LUA.DLL?

ps. I built a wxLua module with Code::Blocks. I used wx as
static lib. It seems work. It is ~3Mb (upx'ed) single dll,
only depends to lua5.1.dll. If you interested I can put it
somewhere.

Great! If you have a place for me to get them I'll upload them to the
wxLua site into the downloads dir.

By the way, how do you use Code::Blocks with wxLua? I tried to use
Code::Blocks a while back and found that it generated a bunch of build
files for me. I asked on their forum how to get it to not do that, but
didn't get a response. Is there a way to merely use CB as an editor
and not have it generate or touch any files other than it's project
file? It seemed like a very nice editor, but it made me nervous that
it was generating things that might overwrite what I already had.

Thanks,

http://www.dynaset.org/dogusanh/download/wxLua-CodeBlocks.zip ~5Mb

- Includes CodeBlocks (SVN3315) project file
- wx.dll lua module unicode and non-unicode
- There are tons of exported functions, I couldn't solve it
- Used wx-rc3 static libs
- Used modified wxlstate.h (for Turkish)

Could you inform me upon downloading it, please?
My web space is limited.

I suggest to look it again..
It only generates a layout file. You don't mean object or dependency
files, don't you? For these I'm using sub directories.

Got it, thanks.
What does it mean "There are tons of exported functions, I couldn't solve it"?

When I try to run this, I get an error
./lua5.1.exe ../samples/luamodule.wx.lua
d:\wxCVS\wxLua\wxLua\bin\lua5.1.exe: error loading module 'wx' from
file '../lib/vc_dll/wx.dll':
        Access is denied.

stack traceback:
        [C]: ?
        [C]: in function 'require'
        ../samples/luamodule.wx.lua:19: in main chunk
        [C]: ?

What the heck is "Access is denied" supposed to mean? It's definitely
finding wx.dll since if I move it somewhere else it gives a "The
specified module could not be found." error.

Ok, I'll try again. If I remember correctly it was generating
makefiles and maybe even autoconf and readme files and whatnot.

Thanks. I'll remove them.

I tried to export only luaopen_wx function.
- Using a wx.def file didn't help:
   EXPORTS
     luaopen_wx
- Playing with WXMAKINGDLL_... etc. didn't help

I don't know :(

(Could it be your virus softare? I've upx'ed wx.dll.)

I was testing it with binaries compiled with gcc.

To make sure:
- re-checked dependencies with DependecyWalker
- downloaded lua5_1_1_Win32_bin from http://luaforge.net/frs/?group_id=110
- made a test dir
- copied wx.dll, lua5.1.exe, lua5.1.dll, luamodule.wx.lua
- modified cpath as package.cpath = ";?.dll;...

It runs here :)

I have a project sitting in a fat32 partition. I'm compiling it
both from xp and ubuntu via seperate project files. There is no 
"foreign" files there :) Maybe cb creates them in tmp, I don't know.
