Yes I am using monolithic MinGW.

Do you use "configure" with mingw or just makefile.gcc?


I am using the makefile.gcc.

Wow. That is not good. You are planning on fixing that, right? I think the
monolithic dll version is the only way, I personally, would use the dll
version. I don't like having 6+ dll's as dependencies. I could deal with it
for static linking, but I figure, that is just more setup and more setting I
need to set in my main project that will use wxLua. ;-)

Good question. I don't have a real need for GL so I never use it, so I
couldn't say. As for jpeg and other image libraries, I think they are
included in the wx dll. I will check for sure when I get back to work
tomorrow.

I have added that in the location in the makefile where the Bakefile  named
variable is located and I still got the same results. I will double verify
this tomarrow at work and post the errors.

You should have a wxmsw28_gl.lib file (just like -lwxmsw28_stc) in the

Yes. I definatly have it and it is right next to the other build files. What
compilers are actively tested? Is it only VC?

I'll try to find some time to look into it again, but I could not

That is kind of the point I was driving at in my previous email. Your
project is only as good as your ability to build it.

I should write something about this. There is a little about the

That would be a great help. Thanks.

Yes, I understand that. There is a very massive code base for that. It makes
sense. I just want get a feel for how the project runs.
