Building Lua and integrating into the FORTE [message #1807362]

i have a few questions on how to build and integrate Lua:

1) At first how did you build Lua? I tried building the binaries with cmake and the mingw compiler? How did any of you manage?

2) At the moment, as by now i did not manage to build lua myself, i downloaded them, but how exactly do you add it to the forte? I attached a photo on how configured the lua properties in cmake. For LUAJIT_LIBRARAY i used the dll file i downloaded with binaries and for LUAJIT_INCLUDE_DIR i took the source directory where the .h and .c files are.

Thank you
Jan

Always tested on linux. We build lua from source. We use http://luajit.org/git/luajit-2.0.git and then in FORTE we set:

-DFORTE_USE_LUATYPES=LuaJIT \
-DLUAJIT_INCLUDE_DIR=$BLD_DIR_LUA/include/luajit-2.0 \
-DLUAJIT_LIBRARY=$BLD_DIR_LUA/lib/libluajit-5.1.so \

I quickly tried with mingw-64w and worked:

$ git clone http://luajit.org/git/luajit-2.0.git
$ cd luajit-2.0.git
$ make
$ make install

which created the dll right there in the src/ directory inside the lua. Using the right paths and dll insted of so compiled for me
