# Lua Nuget

This repository contains all files and information to create a [NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/lua/) from the source code of [Lua](https://www.lua.org/).

## Lua

[Lua](https://www.lua.org/) is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language.

Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics.

Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.

Lua is free open-source software, distributed under a [very liberal license](https://www.lua.org/license.html) (the well-known MIT license).

## How To: Update Lua

* Download the newest Lua code and replace the content in the `lua` subdirectory.

* Update the source file list in the Visual Studio Project based on the updated lua documentation.

* If files were added or removed, especially public header files, you might need to adjust `lua.nuspec` and `lua.targets`.

## How To: Build

* Everything is built from `lua.sln` with Visual Studio

* Adjust the project to the different `Toolset` versions. You might also need to adjust the target platform versions to select the correct Windows SDK.

* Build all projects. Those will populate different subdirectories in `bin` directory.

* As soon as you got all flavors built, run `makeNuget.ps1`.

## How To: Test

* Testing is automatically done on CI with `testbuild` during the build steps, before packing the NuGet

* A second test is running with `testnuget` after backing the NuGet

* Use `testnuget` and adjust the project if you want to test a NuGet package manually
