# Hello from Lua

This repository aims to be a plain and simple example for building

self-contained Lua script AMD64 binaries for Linux and Windows. Also ARM32

and ARM64 binaries for Linux. ARM64 Linux builds for Android

(e.g., Termux) is also supported. 

[`main.lua`](main.lua) contains the source code, [`build.xsh`](build.xsh) is a

[Xonsh](https://xon.sh/) shell script for building the binaries.

[`ext/`](`ext/`) contains external modules that are embedded into the binary.

The script assumes you have GCC, Mingw 64-bit, GCC ARM, and Android NDK compiler

toolchain installed. Some essentials like GNU Make too.

> [!NOTE]

> For Android NDK you should consider adding

> `$ANDROID_NDK_HOME/toolchains/llvm/prebuilt/linux-x86_64/bin` to your `$PATH`.

> [!NOTE]

> No support for MacOS because all the instructions I found online

> were very complicated and unreliable.

Run it from the root of the project's source tree for best results, _but_ it

should work from anywhere.

The binaries will be at `build/{linux,linux-arm32,linux-arm64,linux-android-arm64,windows}/bin/`.

Build artifacts can be cleaned with the build script's `--clean` flag. Run

`--help` flag for more information.
