Re: In the wxLua/apps/luamodule dir is code to make lua require"wx" work in Linux. You create the wx.so library by running $make in the wxLua/apps/luamodule/src dir and all of wxLua will be created for you. The output wx.so lib is just dumped in the

["Jérôme VUARAND" <jerome.vuarand@...>]

With mingw you can do exactly the same to build a wx.dll Lua module :
wx.dll: luamodule.cpp $(OBJECTS) $(LUA_LIBS) wxLuaLib wxLuaDebugLib
wxLuaSocketLib wxLuaBindings
	$(CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) $(APPEXTRADEFS) -g -O -shared -o wx.dll -fpic \
	$(LDLIBS) $(APPEXTRALIBS) \
	luamodule.cpp

The only extra thing you have to do is to check that all your
-l$(XXXLIB) point to existing libraries. These libraries can either be
static libs, or dll import libraries. Static libs are exactly like on
unix (-lfoo need libfoo.a). Dll import libraries are necessary if you
want to link dynamically to a dll. You can generate libfoo.a from
foo.dll with the following commands :
	impdef foo.dll > foo.def
	libtool --kill-at --dllname foo.dll --input-def foo.def --output-lib libfoo.a
	rm foo.def
These import libraries may already exist in the wxWidget build tree if
you built it with mingw.

Feel free to ask if I'm not clear. I had a hard time finding docs on
the subject since everything on mingw site is outdated, but now I
think I know the subject well.
