Lua Project Setup

Description

This repository contains a custom build of Lua, including the interpreter (lua), the Lua compiler (luac), and the shared Lua library (lua54). The build system uses CMake, and it simplifies the process of compiling for multiple platforms such as Windows, Linux, and Android.

Components:

• lua54: Shared Lua library.
• lua: The Lua interpreter.
• luac: The Lua compiler (bytecode compiler).
• wlua: Windows-specific Lua, only for Windows environments.

Each component has its own CMakeLists.txt file to manage the build process.

Build Process:

1. Clone the Repository

   Clone this repository into the src folder inside the lua-src directory (from lua.org).

2. Building the Project

   Inside the project, you’ll find a directory called build-all. This folder contains the necessary build files for all components, so you can build them without needing to run the build process separately for each one.

3. Platform Specifics

   • wlua is only required for Windows.
   • lua54 (shared library), lua (interpreter), and luac (compiler) can be built for Linux and Android as well.

4. Build Process

   After cloning the repository, navigate to the build-all folder and run the CMake build process to compile everything.
