Hi,
thinking to implementation of the WXLUASETUP_DIR and
WXLUABINDLIB_DIR options, I realized one thing.
I.e. if I want to install app X (from sources) which has its own wxLua
extensions, then I cannot just compile&install wxLua with a standard
"./configure && make && make install" (on win32 "cd wxLua/build/msw &&
nmake -fmakefile.vc"): app X requires wxLua's build options to be
modified (i.e. adding something like WXLUASETUP_DIR=X/luaext
WXLUABINDLIB_DIR=X/lualib).
Ok, this affects only source builds and it won't be the first case
that such thing happens. However I think that if that can be avoided,
it would be a Good Thing.
Absolutely, wxLua is one fixed thing which can be compiled and installed
, recompiling whatever bindings in an App, using binding files from
wxLua is another thing.
One way to avoid that could be providing the app X with a way to
recompile the wxLua's wxbind module with its own wxluasetup.h.
Rigth and also the location of the library generated as result.
This means that the custom wxbind module would not be generated when
wxLua is compiled but rather when app X is compiled.
Exactly, the app only uses stuff from there.
I'm not sure if you had this same idea when you wrote that
WXLUASETUP_DIR and WXLUABINDLIB_DIR options should not be exposed in
the configure script :)
At least you got it somehow, but indeed that is what i meant to explain :-)
Anyway, on Unix, it wouldn't be such difficult to provide to the guest
app X the required info to recompile wxLua's wxbind module.
It would probably be somewhat more difficult on win32, but probably
still feasible.
I think setting the variables inside the App its makefiles should/could
do the job.
Why would it be complicated ? If the variabes are set, you the same as
with wxbind, but here with different locations.
What do you think of this approach ?
I think it right,
Klaas
