wxLua is a set of bindings to the wxWidgets library for the Lua programming language. With wxLua you can write programs in Lua that use the wxWidgets cross-platform GUI library to develop and deliver your software with the programming ease of an interpreted language like Lua. Nearly all of the functionality of wxWidgets is exposed to Lua, meaning that your programs can have windows, dialogs, menus, toolbars, controls, image loading and saving, drawing, sockets, streams, printing, clipboard access... and much more.
Now, the wxLua binary is released to Linux systems as an autopackage. However, this is unusable with Puppy Linux's busybox system, so I've built wxLua manually, packaged it into a convenient dotpet... and here it is (6.6 MB, 16 MB installed): Enjoy!

wxLua documentation and example scripts are included. Supports Unicode
I used the latest wxWidgets (wxGTK port version 2.8. as well as version 2.8.7.0 of wxLua. I stripped and UPX'd the executables to reduce their size, and tried to minimize the number of shared libraries that would be installed (3 versus 12+).
wxGTK was configured with the following options:
--enable-monolithic --enable-unicode
wxLua was configured with the following options:
--enable-unicode --disable-debug --disable-shared --with-wxshared
