I hope some day the process of installing wxEuphoria is automated. If Euphoria programmers have difficulty installing wxEuphoria, imagine the difficulty people outside the Euphoria community have. Typically they are less familiar with the Euphoria world and besides have less motivation. Every program based on wxEuphoria and intended for the general public will have this problem until the process of installing wxEuphoria is automated.
There isn't much "installation" required. Currently, wxEuphoria is a single DLL/SO file and a single library "wrapper" file. If you're binding or translating your application for distribution, just include the wxEuphoria DLL/SO as well. For Windows, you also need to include a single compiled wxWidgets DLL, and on Linux, you can typically install wxWidgets with your favorite package manager (e.g. sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-dbg).
Matt is (or was) also working on a Euphoria 4.0 interpreter with the wxEuphoria routines built-in. This would make the "wrapper" file nothing more than a bunch of call_func/proc() routines.
