how to create a debug-able lua interpreter for LDT [message #1027595]

we develop games using cocos2d-x and lua, LDT is a wonderful tool, one big question is how to create a interpreter to debug lua code in LDT, The document just says that "if you intent to debug with you own interpreter, you have to ensure two things:
1.Your interpreter has -e option.
2.You have luasocket installed and available from your interpreter".

but how to do it?

cocos2d-x is a wonderful cross-platform library, write in C++ ,it's perfect if LDT can work with cocos2d-x.

Hi,

It seems that you have to use the networking extension of cocos2d-x. (http://www.cocos2d-x.org/boards/18/topics/16025)

To use it you must implement your own transportation layer in addition of the "Attach Debug Launch Configuration" as explain in the documentation here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Koneki/LDT/Developer_Area/User_Guides/User_Guide_0.9#Attach_session

If you succeed to perform debug, it will be really appreciated if you can contribute to the debugger compatibility wiki page, to explain how user can make it work.

Otherwise, if you need deeper informations, feel free to ask.

Hi,

Implement your own transport layer could be a bit complex, integrate Luasocket could be easier.

I don't test it but I see on cocos2d forum that could works.

We want to make LDT compatible with a lot of Lua Platform.
That's why we try to limit the compatibility requirements, but we need a tcp/ip connection and luasocket is the most popular lua library to do that.
Perhaps you could ask to cocos2d developers to integrate luasocket, this will help the LDT integration and even the others debugging tools for Lua.

In all cases, tell us if you succeed Wink
