First do "make" and + see if your platform is listed. If so, just do "make xxx", where xxx + is your platform name. The platforms currently supported are: + aix ansi bsd freebsd generic linux macosx mingw posix solaris + + If your platform is not listed, try the closest one or posix, generic, + ansi, in this order. + + See below for customization instructions and for instructions on how + to build with other Windows compilers. + + If you want to check that Lua has been built correctly, do "make test" + after building Lua. Also, have a look at the example programs in test. + +* Installing Lua + -------------- + Once you have built Lua, you may want to install it in an official + place in your system. In this case, do "make install". The official + place and the way to install files are defined in Makefile. You must + have the right permissions to install files. + + If you want to build and install Lua in one step, do "make xxx install", + where xxx is your platform name. + + If you want to install Lua locally, then do "make local". This will + create directories bin, include, lib, man, and install Lua there as + follows: + + bin: lua luac + include: lua.h luaconf.h lualib.h lauxlib.h lua.hpp + lib: liblua.a + man/man1: lua.1 luac.1 + + These are the only directories you need for development. + + There are man pages for lua and luac, in both nroff and html, and a + reference manual in html in doc, some sample code in test, and some + useful stuff in etc. You don't need these directories for development. + + If you want to install Lua locally, but in some other directory, do + "make install INSTALL_TOP=xxx", where xxx is your chosen directory. + + See below for instructions for Windows and other systems. + +* Customization + ------------- + Three things can be customized by editing a file: + - Where and how to install Lua -- edit Makefile. + - How to build Lua -- edit src/Makefile. + - Lua features -- edit src/luaconf.h. + + You don't actually need to edit the Makefiles because you may set the + relevant variables when invoking make. + + On the other hand, if you need to select some Lua features, you'll need + to edit src/luaconf.h. The edited file will be the one installed, and + it will be used by any Lua clients that you build, to ensure consistency. + + We strongly recommend that you enable dynamic loading. This is done + automatically for all platforms listed above that have this feature + (and also Windows). See src/luaconf.h and also src/Makefile. + +* Building Lua on Windows and other systems + ----------------------------------------- + If you're not using the usual Unix tools, then the instructions for + building Lua depend on the compiler you use. You'll need to create + projects (or whatever your compiler uses) for building the library, + the interpreter, and the compiler, as follows: + + library: lapi.c lcode.c ldebug.c ldo.c ldump.c lfunc.c lgc.c llex.c + lmem.c lobject.c lopcodes.c lparser.c lstate.c lstring.c + ltable.c ltm.c lundump.c lvm.c lzio.c + lauxlib.c lbaselib.c ldblib.c liolib.c lmathlib.c loslib.c + ltablib.c lstrlib.c loadlib.c linit.c + + interpreter: library, lua.c + + compiler: library, luac.c print.c + + If you use Visual Studio .NET, you can use etc/luavs.bat in its + "Command Prompt". + + If all you want is to build the Lua interpreter, you may put all .c files + in a single project, except for luac.c and print.c. Or just use etc/all.c. + + To use Lua as a library in your own programs, you'll need to know how to + create and use libraries with your compiler. + + As mentioned above, you may edit luaconf.h to select some features before + building Lua. + +(end of INSTALL) |
