Agreed.

OK, you caught me. I didn't try that myself but grabbed
it form somewhere else and added it to make sure, that
people don't start asking questions about wxWidgets in
the Ethernut mailing list until they got any wxWidgets
sample running first. This seems to have failed. :-)

The configure script tries to locate known lua and wxWidgets libraries.
If it can't find these, it will exclude nutconf (no wxWidgets) or
nutconf and nutconfigure (no Lua) from the build. My assumption is,
that your lua libs are different and not detected by the Ethernut
configurations. That's a really miserable part. Lua comes without
autoconfiguration and each package maintainer seems to make his
own decisions about names and install locations.

I'd suggest to build Lua from the sources as described at
http://www.ethernut.de/en/documents/debiansage.html

Then carefully watch the output provided by Ethernut's ./configure
script.
