I assume you mean the bakefile stuff.
I am not a fan of bakefile, never appealed to me.
But Premake would fit wxlua perfectly ;-)
I am using Cmake, and only because i can understand it, and it is well 
documented etc.
And what i like is that it is possible to generate the binding during 
the build process.
With 2.9 all is unicode, and also other things have become more simple.

I am not aware so much changed. But you must be right. With wxArt2D i 
had to change not to much.
But that was easy, wxLua has to deal with all changes.

Maybe i will try once more. The main thing is that users are asking for 
2.9, and i can only offer them half.
But then again, i never had a question on the use of wxLua within 
wxArt2D, so i guess most user don't enable the option :-(
To bad, since it makes so much possible.

Oke i remember that.
And if i can be of help somehow, let me know.
At least i can test ;-)

Try to not be so lazy? Seriously though, I have written a parser in
Lua for the XML output from the wxWidgets Doxygen documentation. It
can read in all 1000+ files and generate a Lua table with all the
pertinent data saved in a nice orderly manner. It is complete in that
it understands everything in the files and gives warning messages if
there is anything in the XML file that is not understood.
What has to be done is :
1) Create a new repository in SF using SVN to separate 2.8 from 2.9+
2) Separate the XML files into the different wxWidgets libs. I wonder
if I can concat the wxWidgets interface files together by lib (base,
core, adv...) then run Doxygen on them to generate fewer XML files.
This will make it WAY easier to update in the future since I won't
have to diff 1000+ interface files to see what changed.
3) Write the C code generation for the bindings. (this is actually not
the hard part)
4) Have a way to exclude various parts of wxWidgets from wxLua. Not
all functions/classes are useful, but I don't want to edit the
original wxWidgets interface files since comparing and updating them
against newer versions from wxWidgets would be very difficult. I guess
this info will go into the "rules" files, which used to be very
simple, but now they have have to carry all this extra information.
5) The wxWidgets interface files do not have #if wxUSE_WXFEATURE/CLASS
so I will have to add them, probably by sending patches to wxWidgets.
This can be implemented later.
6) Redo all the build files. (this is the hard part)
7) Test and see what's new vs. what is missing from the old interface
files and send patches to wxWidgets as appropriate.
This is a massive undertaking for me, but yes I still plan to do it.

I haven't tried, but I don't think it should be too hard to get 2.9
working with the current bindings, but then again, maybe a lot more
has changed than I remember. The hardest part is maintaining the class
heirarchy, because that will cause serious problems.

John,
What do you plan to do?
I did an attempt to get it compiled, and although many things were 
rather easy to solve.
(event declaration and bindings to lua for those events)
But i am stuck near the end, at least i think it is near end :-)
Also i am not always sure if what i made of it is correct. I did only 
change things to get it working for 2.9, not to keep it working for 2.8.
Anyway it looks feasible to have the current wxLua working with wx2.9.
If you want, i could sent you what i did sofar??
Or do you think you will find time to change the whole binding stuff to 
XML/doxygen based.
Maybe just get it working for 2.9 for the moment, is less a problem??
Regards,
Klaas

Is it possible to integrate wxLua into existing application ?What libs to link and how to init modules ?

If you don't mind using non-standard wxLua distribution, you may look my 
works at:
http://www.dynaset.org/dogusanh/
There you'll find CairoPad and BookWorm applications written with wxLua 
and wxSQLite3 (compiled as a single .dll/.so!)

Many thanks - looks like that will fix it - only problem is that it makes my 
other objective of a simple install with minimal files on end users machines 
that don't have a full Lua install even further away because of the large 
number of dll's required (I count over 20 in the bin folder which I assume 
are all required). It would be so nice to have a single wxlua executable 
plus a single dll for sqlite, plus my lua scripts (compiled) on the target 
machine.

It looks like sqlite3.dll is linked against lua5.1.dll so you will
have to use the dll version of wxLua.

Hi,
 I'm a newbie to lua and wxlua (but an experienced - retired - software developer). I have set up a test gui screen ok with wxlua and I'm now attempting to add to my code by connecting to an sqlite database and displaying a record. I'm using the sqlite.dll downloaded from http://luaforge.net/frs/?group_id=12 as advised on the web page at http://www.keplerproject.org/luasql/ . I have hunted around trying to find ways of getting this to work (I can do it in 'straight' lua) - if I have the .dll in my working directory and code require "sqlite3" I get the following error :-
Error: Lua: Error while running chunk
error loading module 'sqlite3' from file '.\sqlite3.dll':
 The specified procedure could not be found.
If I put sqlite3.dll in a sub folder called luasql and then require "luasql.sqlite3" I get a windows message (I'm on Vista) saying :-
wxlua.exe has stopped working etc etc
This message appears half way through the gui being displayed.
As I said above - the same program works fine with "Lua for Windows", but I'd prefer to use wxLua as I want to distribute programs to PCs without a full Lua installation and wxLua appears to need a lot less files to be bundled with it to run than 'straight' Lua!
Can anyone help please - am I missing files - have I got the folder structure wrong - should I be using a different .dll etc?
If anyone knows of a really simple example on the web that would be great!
Thanks
 Roger L
