Thread: [wxlua-users] Problem with accents

Hi list,
After i have managed to successfully compile wxLua with wxWidgets 2.9.3, now
face another problem.
For the compilation to work I had to use the parameter UNICODE = 1 in the
makefile.
However when using unicode now I can not work with accents.
I tried to run a simple wxMessageBox without sucess.
wx.wxMessageBox( 'My Name Is João Mendes \nOlá Mundo!' )
I suspected this might happen so I did not want to build with UNICODE = 1.
I believe that changing the encoding of source files will solve the
problem, but
I have many sources, since i used the wxLua without UNICODE.
Has anyone experienced this problem?

Glad you got it working, too bad about the ANSI build with MinGW, it
does build in ANSI with Visual Studio.

Download these and try it. It works correctly if pasted into a file as
UTF8 with the Unicode build.

I bet that wxWidgets will sort out that build issue shortly.
