If I ever end up using gtk directly from Lua, I'll do my own bindings. This is not difficult (with tolua++) if you do only the functions you need, and don't try to support all features of all versions of all functions...
First, the bad news: I've looked at compiling Lua-gtk and is a very complex task; it needs libffi, gccxml and other packages not easy to be compiled on iLiad. The huge effort is not worthy...

but ...

what do you think about http://oproj.tuxfamily.org/wiki/doku.php?id=projects
Code looks very simple and at least it has been very easy to compile on my desktop machine. They even have a sqlite port for lua!!!


What do you think, people, to create an irc channel devoted to iliad and iliad development? I've joined #iliad on irc.oftc.net if anyone is interested.
