luawinmake
==========
[](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/tieske/luawinmake)
Windows batch file to build Lua from source. Simply place the `.\etc\winmake.bat` file
in your downloaded and unpacked Lua source folder (preferably in a `\etc\` subfolder). And run it from the
root folder to build Lua (eg. `etc\winmake /help`).
Since there also is a [Github repo with Lua sources](https://github.com/lua/lua) you can also use `winmake` to build from those sources (flat file structure without `.\etc\` and `.\src\`).
Make sure that your compiler is in your system path before running it. For the Microsoft toolchains
you can use their commandshell. The TDM release also has a shell available for 32 and 64 bit.
NOTE: if you're interested in a more complete Lua setup, checkout [luawinmulti](https://github.com/Tieske/luawinmulti), which builds on top of luawinmake.
Downloads
=========
If all you need is a quick Windows binary, then checkout the [CI build artifacts](https://ci.appveyor.com/project/tieske/luawinmake).
Select the version you need and download the archive from the artifacts.
Commands
========
- `etc\winmake /help` displays usage info
- `etc\winmake` builds the Lua installation
- `etc\winmake ` builds using the specified toolchain, skips auto detection
- `etc\winmake clean` cleans the (intermediate) build results
- `etc\winmake local` installs the build Lua version in `.\local\`
- `etc\winmake localv` installs the build Lua version in `.\local\` in a versioned manner
- `etc\winmake install ` installs the build Lua version in ``
- `etc\winmake installv ` installs the build Lua version in `` in a versioned manner
Available flags;
- `--nocompat` When building, this will disable all compatibilty flags (otherwise default flags same as the MinGW make file will be used)
File structure
==============
Installing creates a structure similar to the standard Lua MinGW install;
````
{root}
+-- bin
+-- include
+-- lib
| +-- lua
| +--
+-- man
| +-- man1
+-- share
+-- lua
+--
````
The `localv` and `installv` commands create versioned installations, with the following differences;
````
{root}
+-- bin --> eg. contains lua52.exe and luac52.exe
+-- include
| +-- lua
| +-- --> containing the header files
+-- lib
| +-- lua
| +--
+-- man
| +-- man1
+-- share
+-- lua
+--
````
Compatibility
=============
It auto detects the Lua version from the source code. It was tested with;
- 5.1
- 5.2
- 5.3
- 5.4
Lua is build with the default compatibility options (mimics the unix makefiles for each
of the Lua versions listed above). Unless the `--nocompat` flag is used.
It supports MS and GCC based compilers (autodetects; uses the first one found in the system path), and was tested with;
- Win7 SDK
- Visual Studio 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2015
- MinGW
- TDM32
- TDM64
Thanks to
=========
- The Lua team for a great language
- @ignacio for testing various Visual Studio builds
