Just to be sure, you do not have to use the wx.so shared lib for Lua's
require() function if you don't want to for whatever reason.
Alternatively, you can link your C++ program, static or dynamically,
to the wxLua and wxWidgets libs/dlls. See the sample app wxLuaFreeze
for the simplest incarnation of using a wxLuaState to run your Lua
code. The decision is yours, either way should work equally well.
