I completely missed the Makefile in the bindings directory. I just read
in the documentation about the manual way.

Great.

It does, but it didn't when the bindings were written. You can simply
remove the %win as you did and rebuild the bindings.

You should use the Makefile in the bindings directory to properly
rebuild the bindings. First at least have Lua compiled then run "make
-B" to rebuild.

In any case, the bindings have be fixed in CVS.

I think John Labensky will know. I'm wondering why serial ports don't happen in wxLua, but that's another matter. :)

I was linking against the wrong library. The fix is to remove %win as
I said some mails ago. I'd like to push this upstream. Is it okay to
send this little patch to the list to get it applied?
I'm still wondering why ShowFullScreen() is only enabled for Windows.

I just checked ShowFullScreen on Linux directly using WxWidgets in C++
to verify that full screen works on Linux. Since this works I must be
doing something wrong when trying to make ShowFullScreen available in
bindings/wxwidgets/wxcore_appframe.i.

Yeah. I want to switch between full screen and window. So this is odd.
But thanks for your suggestion. I wonder why there is no
ShowFullScreen() on Linux.

If it does get awkward, doing it in wxLua code might be ok, if not so tidy. Set the frame style to 0 instead of wx.wxDEFAULT_FRAME_STYLE, then later use FRAME:Move(0,0)  FRAME:SetSize(wx.wxDisplaySize())  FRAME:Show(true). This might be enough if you don't want to alternate between full screen and windowed display.

I don't think the style can be set after frame creation, and compensating for sizes of side bars and setting client area and position to match full screen area makes this workround become unfeasible. Even in the simplest form, it leaves you having to write your own code to do basic things the frame styles normally allow, like closing the program with the mouse, etc... Not a problem if you were going to do that anyway though.

Thanks for your answer.
Show() works but I need full screen. It seems that ShowFullScreen() is
not supposed to work on Linux (wxcore_appframe.i has %win in front of
ShowFullScreen). But I found some posts where it was used on Linux.
I removed the %win and
$ lua -e"rulesFilename=\"wxwidgets/wxcore_rules.lua\"" genwxbind.lua
$ make

But still the same. I think wxWidgets supports full screen on Linux
(http://docs.wxwidgets.org/stable/wx_wxtoplevelwindow.html#wxtoplevelwindowshowfullscreen)
Maybe I did something wrong while configuring.

I'm using W98 so I can't check all of that, but the stuff below 'require...' is ok. ShowFullScreen() works on W98, so it looks like your install isn't finding some file that defines it. Try it with just Show(). I haven't got source files here so I don't know if the two methods are defined in the same file, but the test is simple and might reveal something.

Hi,

I'm new to Lua and new to wxlua. I'm developing on Linux and did
$ ./configure
$ make
which worked.

But the following simple script with ShowFullScreen won't work.
test.lua:
#!/usr/bin/env lua
package.cpath = package.cpath..";wxLua/lib/?.so;"
require("wx")

frame = wx.wxFrame(wx.NULL, wx.wxID_ANY, "test", wx.wxDefaultPosition)
frame:ShowFullScreen(true)
wx.wxGetApp():MainLoop()

$ ./test.lua
lua: ./test.lua:6: wxLua: Unable to call an unknown method
'ShowFullScreen' on a 'wxFrame' type.
stack traceback:
        [C]: ?
        ./test.lua:6: in main chunk
        [C]: ?

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Jens
