This is Lua 3.2
* Installation
------------
Building Lua on a Unix system should be very easy:
1. Edit "config" to suit your platform, if at all necessary.
2. Then, type "make".
See below for instructions for Windows and Macintosh.
* What you get
------------
If "make" succeeds, you get:
* an interpreter in ./bin/lua and a compiler in ./bin/luac;
* libraries in ./lib;
* include files in ./include.
These are the only directories you need for development.
There is a reference manual in html in ./doc, some sample code in ./test,
and some useful stuff in ./etc.
You don't need these directories for development.
See also the README files in the various subdirectories.
A convenient staring point is ./doc/readme.html.
* If you have problems (and solutions!)
-------------------------------------
If "make" fails, please let us know (lua@tecgraf.puc-rio.br).
If you make changes to "config", please send them to us.
* Shared libraries
----------------
If you are running SunOs 4.x, type the following after "make" succeeds:
ld -o lib/liblua.so.3.2 src/*.o
ld -o lib/liblualib.so.3.2 src/lib/*.o
If you are running Linux, type the following after "make" succeeds:
ld -o lib/liblua.so.3.2 -shared src/*.o
ld -o lib/liblualib.so.3.2 -shared src/lib/*.o
cd lib
ln -s liblua.so.3.2 liblua.so
ln -s liblualib.so.3.2 liblualib.so.3.2
If you want the interpreter to use shared libraries, then do this too:
rm bin/lua
cd src/lua; make
You may need to include lib/ in the LD_LIBRAY_PATH environment variable.
Building shared libraries in other systems is similar but details differ.
* Installation on Windows or Macintosh
------------------------------------
The instructions for building Lua on a Mac or Windows machine depend on
the particular compiler you are using.
The simplest way is to create a folder with all .c and .h files.
Then create projects for the basic library, the standard library,
the interpreter and the compiler, as follows:
basic lib: lapi.c lauxlib.c lbuffer.c lbuiltin.c ldo.c lfunc.c lgc.c
llex.c lmem.c lobject.c lparser.c lstate.c lstring.c ltable.c
ltm.c lundump.c lvm.c lzio.c
standard lib: linit.c ldblib.c liolib.c lmathlib.c lstrlib.c
interpreter: basic lib, standard lib, lua.c
compiler: basic lib, dump.c luac.c opcode.c opt.c print.c stubs.c test.c
Of course, to use Lua as a library, you'll have to know how to create
and use libraries with your compiler.
