About Lua

+

+Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language +developed by a +team +at +PUC-Rio, +the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. +Lua is +free software +used in many products and projects around the world. + +

+Lua's +official web site +provides complete information +about Lua, +including +an +executive summary +and +updated +documentation, +especially the +reference manual, +which may differ slightly from the +local copy +distributed in this package. + +

Installing Lua

+

+Lua is distributed in +source +form. +You need to build it before using it. +Building Lua should be straightforward +because +Lua is implemented in pure ANSI C and compiles unmodified in all known +platforms that have an ANSI C compiler. +Lua also compiles unmodified as C++. +The instructions given below for building Lua are for Unix-like platforms. +See also +instructions for other systems +and +customization options. + +

+If you don't have the time or the inclination to compile Lua yourself, +get a binary from +LuaBinaries. +Try also +LuaDist, +a multi-platform distribution of Lua that includes batteries. + +

Building Lua

+

+In most Unix-like platforms, simply do "make" with a suitable target. +Here are the details. + +

    +
  1. +Open a terminal window and move to +the top-level directory, which is named lua-5.3.x. +The Makefile there controls both the build process and the installation process. +

    +

  2. + Do "make" and see if your platform is listed. + The platforms currently supported are: +

    +

    + aix bsd c89 freebsd generic linux macosx mingw posix solaris +

    +

    + If your platform is listed, just do "make xxx", where xxx + is your platform name. +

    + If your platform is not listed, try the closest one or posix, generic, + c89, in this order. +

    +

  3. +The compilation takes only a few moments +and produces three files in the src directory: +lua (the interpreter), +luac (the compiler), +and liblua.a (the library). +

    +

  4. + To check that Lua has been built correctly, do "make test" + after building Lua. This will run the interpreter and print its version. +
+

+If you're running Linux and get compilation errors, +make sure you have installed the readline development package +(which is probably named libreadline-dev or readline-devel). +If you get link errors after that, +then try "make linux MYLIBS=-ltermcap". + +

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 the Makefile. You'll + probably need the right permissions to install files. + +

+ To build and install Lua in one step, do "make xxx install", + where xxx is your platform name. + +

+ To install Lua locally, do "make local". + This will create a directory install with subdirectories + bin, include, lib, man, share, + and install Lua as listed below. + + To install Lua locally, but in some other directory, do + "make install INSTALL_TOP=xxx", where xxx is your chosen directory. + The installation starts in the src and doc directories, + so take care if INSTALL_TOP is not an absolute path. + +

+
+ 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. + If you only want to run Lua programs, + you only need the files in bin and man. + The files in include and lib are needed for + embedding Lua in C or C++ programs. + +

Customization

+

+ Three kinds of things can be customized by editing a file: +

+ +

+ You don't actually need to edit the Makefiles because you may set the + relevant variables in the command line when invoking make. + Nevertheless, it's probably best to edit and save the Makefiles to + record the changes you've made. + +

+ On the other hand, if you need to customize some Lua features, you'll need + to edit src/luaconf.h before building and installing Lua. + The edited file will be the one installed, and + it will be used by any Lua clients that you build, to ensure consistency. + Further customization is available to experts by editing the Lua sources. + +

Building Lua on 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 lctype.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 lbitlib.c lcorolib.c ldblib.c liolib.c +lmathlib.c loslib.c lstrlib.c ltablib.c lutf8lib.c loadlib.c linit.c +
+interpreter: +
+ library, lua.c +
+compiler: +
+ library, luac.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. Moreover, to dynamically load + C libraries for Lua you'll need to know how to create dynamic libraries + and you'll need to make sure that the Lua API functions are accessible to + those dynamic libraries — but don't link the Lua library + into each dynamic library. For Unix, we recommend that the Lua library + be linked statically into the host program and its symbols exported for + dynamic linking; src/Makefile does this for the Lua interpreter. + For Windows, we recommend that the Lua library be a DLL. + In all cases, the compiler luac should be linked statically. + +

+ As mentioned above, you may edit src/luaconf.h to customize + some features before building Lua. + +
