wxlua-users Mailing List for wxLua

Wow! that's complicated!
May I suggest using pre-built wx.so (BTW, no installation needed) from ZBS
<http://studio.zerobrane.com/> or its build script
<https://github.com/pkulchenko/ZeroBraneStudio/blob/master/build/build-linux.sh>
?
Best regards, Ildar.

For Windows, there's a precompiled binary that works out of the box.But six month ago, I wanted to release a Linux version of one of my wxLua project.wxLua is too a tiny project to enter a well maintained package repository, so I had to rebuild from source.It took me a whole day, from 6 to 22, without even that much pause inbetween.While I won't doubt more clever folk could do it more easily, for the record I felt like sharing how I eventually managed:
How to compile wxLua for Linux, as of 27/05/2017:Tested under a mostly fresh Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca
Get some tools:
Compiler:
  sudo apt-get install gcc
  sudo apt-get install g++
Source control:
  sudo apt-get install git
  sudo apt-get install svn
Text editor:
notepadqq is the closest clone of notepad++ (which is my favorite Windows editor):
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:notepadqq-team/notepadqq
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install notepadqq
Some diffing tool:
  sudo apt-get install meld
Get the build dependencies:
To build lua:
  sudo apt-get install libreadline-dev
  sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
To build wxWidgets
  sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
And maybe (but best not to even try "media"):
  sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0
  sudo apt-get install libgstreamer1.0-dev
  sudo apt-get install libgstreamer-plugins-base1.0-dev
Prolly not needed, but somebody mentioned them:
  libgconf2-dev
  libgconfmm2.6-devel 
wxLua already contains source of Lua 5.1 and Lua 5.2,
but if you want to get Lua source from a more official source:
  download .tar.gz from https://www.lua.org/ftp/
  untargz, and: make linux
To test Lua:
  cd ./src/lua
  print(_VERSION) -- or whatever Lua command
  os.exit() -- or plain CTRL+C
Get and build wxWidgets 3.1.0
  svn checkout http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk wxWidgets-src
  As of now, it's revision 78524, so, the same as:
  svn checkout -r 78524 http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/trunk wxWidgets-src
These other source also exist but I didn't use them
  svn checkout http://svn.wxwidgets.org/svn/wx/wxWidgets/branches/WX_2_8_BRANCH wxWidgets-2.8
  git clone https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets.git
It's best to build in a subfolder rather than in root:
  cd wxWidgets-src
  mkdir buildgtk
  cd buildgtk
Build (well, configure) with:
  ../configure --with-gtk --disable-shared --enable-compat28 --enable-stc --enable-richtext --enable-clipboard --with-libpng=builtin --with-zlib=builtin --with-expat=builtin
To list all possible options:
  ../configure --help
Do not forget --enable-compat28 that is important for wxLua, or else it can't find some function
Do not forget --with-libpng=builtin or it'll fail on newer Ubuntu that don't ship with libpng12.so but libpng16-16.so
Do not use --enable-monolithic that cause weird issue later when linking with wxLua (ex: https://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?t=33364 )
Do not use --enable-mediactrl, not only it has many dependencies (gstreamer), but even they're all installed, there are issues at a later stage
Build (actually build) with:
  sudo make install
  sudo ldconfig
You can check version with:
  wx-config --version
Get and build wxLua:
  svn checkout https://wxlua.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wxlua/trunk/wxLua wxLua-src
As of now, it's revision 252, so, the same as:
  svn checkout -r 252 https://svn.code.sf.net/p/wxlua/svn/trunk/wxLua wxLua-src
There is also a more recent, which I didn't dare to try:
  git clone https://github.com/pkulchenko/wxlua.git
Make a sym link from /modules/lua-5.1/ into /modules/lua/
  cd modules
  ln -s lua-5.1 lua
  cd ..
Plain copy the include of lua to wxLua cause it can't find them
from /modules/lua/src/ to /modules/wxlua so:
  cp modules/lua/src/*.h modules/wxlua/
In /wxLua-src/build/Makefile_wx-config.in
  Remove media from line 54:
    WXLIBS_NAMES = stc,gl,media,aui,xrc,qa,html,adv,core,xml,net,base
    changed to:
    WXLIBS_NAMES = stc,gl,aui,xrc,qa,html,adv,core,xml,net,base
  Comment the first APPEXTRALIBS and modify the second to remove STC_LIB and WXXRC_LIB:
    APPEXTRALIBS := -L$(WXLIB_DIR) $(WXLIB_DIR)/lib$(WXLUA_LIB).a $(LUA_LIBS)
Note: you can see that they are missing by using in that makefile*.in stuff like
  $(info WXLIB_DIR=$(WXLIB_DIR))
  $(info WXLUA_LIB=$(WXLUA_LIB))
  $(info STC_LIB=$(STC_LIB))
  $(info WXXRC_LIB=$(WXXRC_LIB))
  $(info LUA_LIBS=$(LUA_LIBS))
Start compiling (from wxLua-src)
  make -f Makefile.wx-config
If fails to finds its own libwxlua_*.a
Well, plain copy them where it looks for them:
  sudo cp lib/*.a /usr/local/lib/
Retry
  make -f Makefile.wx-config
It fails.
Compile wxluafreeze_app specifically, as it's all that really matters:
  make -f Makefile.wx-config wxluafreeze_app
It fails to find all the .o it needs, with lots of undefined reference to wxLuaBinding_wx*_init()
But it gives us the g++ commandline to build it!
So, modify it to point it to where they are:
  cd apps/wxluafreeze/
  g++ -o wxLuaFreeze *.o ../../modules/wxbind/src/*.o ../../modules/wxlua/debugger/*.o ../../modules/wxlua/debug/*.o -L/usr/local/lib -pthread  /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2u_stc-3.1.a /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2u_gl-3.1.a /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2u_aui-3.1.a /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2u_xrc-3.1.a /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2u_qa-3.1.a /usr/local/lib/libwx_baseu_net-3.1.a /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2u_html-3.1.a /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2u_adv-3.1.a /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-3.1.a /usr/local/lib/libwx_baseu_xml-3.1.a /usr/local/lib/libwx_baseu-3.1.a -lwxscintilla-3.1 -lGL -lGLU -pthread -lgthread-2.0 -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lSM -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lcairo -lpango-1.0 -lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lfreetype -lpng -lexpat -lwxregexu-3.1 -lwxtiff-3.1 -lwxjpeg-3.1 -lz -ldl -lm -ldl -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/bob/wxLua/wxLua-src/lib -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libwxlua_gtk2u_wxlua-3.1.a ../../lib/liblua.a /usr/local/lib/libwxpng-3.1.a
Hopefully at this point you have just succesfully compiled wxLuaFreeze
Get the wxLuaFreeze from /wxLua-src/apps/wxlua
Try it alone
  ./wxLuaFreeze
Try it with a script:
  ./wxLuaFreeze KPL_vXX.wx.lua
But then when you try with a script appended at the end of wxLuaFreeze nothing happens
To fix that, edit wxluafreeze.cpp to use some wxString::From8BitData(..) when creating a wxString from the const char*
Also, newer Ubuntu use libpng16-16 instead of libpng12.so, so to fix that:
add --with-libpng=builtin to wxWidgets ./configure
add /usr/local/lib/libwxpng-3.1.a to the g++ compile of wxLuaFreeze
When cleaning up, please note that parts of wxWidgets and wxLua are installed in /usr/local/lib/
which cannot be written by regular user.
To get a root explorer use something like:
  sudo nemo
To verify the shared library used by an executable: ldd ./wxLuaFreeze
