README for slua

=== Requires ===

=== Compile ===

 * mkdir build

 * cd build

 for Release build:

 * cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release

 for Debug build:

 * cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug

 * make

=== Install ===

 * make install

=== Patches to lua/src ===

 * Emergency Garbage Collector: http://lua-users.org/wiki/EmergencyGarbageCollector

 * LuaCoco-1.1.6: http://luajit.org/coco.html + (x86_64 support added)

 * a few hooks where added to support static compiled functions.

=== Programs ===

 * slua: This command can be used to run Lua script.  It doesn't have JIT support!

 * sluac: This command compiles Lua scripts into C code which calls lua vm ops functions.

 * slua-compiler: This is a bash script that wraps sluac to compile Lua scripts into standalone executables or loadable modules.

=== Libraries ===

 -- static & dynamic libraries for linking into host app.

 * libslua_static.a & libslua.so

 -- Used for compling Lua scripts to standalone executables.

 * liblua_main.a

=== Using slua ===

'sluac' alone can only compile Lua scripts to Lua bytecode or C code.  A wrapper script called 'slua-compiler' is provided that wraps 'sluac' and gcc.

Compile standalone Lua script:

slua-compiler script.lua

outputs: ./script

Compile Lua script as a module:

slua-compiler -lua-module script.lua

outputs: ./script.so
