<H2><A NAME="about">About Lua</A></H2>
<P>
Lua is a powerful, efficient, lightweight, embeddable scripting language
developed by a
<A HREF="http://www.lua.org/authors.html">team</A>
at
<A HREF="http://www.puc-rio.br/">PUC-Rio</A>,
the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil.
Lua is
<A HREF="#license">free software</A>
used in
<A HREF="http://www.lua.org/uses.html">many products and projects</A>
around the world.
<P>
Lua's
<A HREF="http://www.lua.org/">official web site</A>
provides complete information
about Lua,
including
an
<A HREF="http://www.lua.org/about.html">executive summary</A>
and
updated
<A HREF="http://www.lua.org/docs.html">documentation</A>,
especially the
<A HREF="http://www.lua.org/manual/5.4/">reference manual</A>,
which may differ slightly from the
<A HREF="contents.html">local copy</A>
distributed in this package.
<H2><A NAME="install">Installing Lua</A></H2>
<P>
Lua is distributed in
<A HREF="http://www.lua.org/ftp/">source</A>
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,
such as Linux and Mac OS X.
See also
<A HREF="#other">instructions for other systems</A>
and
<A HREF="#customization">customization options</A>.
<P>
If you don't have the time or the inclination to compile Lua yourself,
get a binary from
<A HREF="http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaBinaries">LuaBinaries</A>.
Try also
<A HREF="http://luadist.org/">LuaDist</A>,
a multi-platform distribution of Lua that includes batteries.
<H3>Building Lua</H3>
<P>
In most common Unix-like platforms, simply do "<KBD>make</KBD>".
Here are the details.
<OL>
<LI>
Open a terminal window and move to
the top-level directory, which is named <TT>lua-5.4.4</TT>.
The <TT>Makefile</TT> there controls both the build process and the installation process.
<P>
<LI>
Do "<KBD>make</KBD>". The <TT>Makefile</TT> will guess your platform and build Lua for it.
<P>
<LI>
If the guess failed, do "<KBD>make help</KBD>" and see if your platform is listed.
The platforms currently supported are:
<P>
<P CLASS="display">
guess aix bsd c89 freebsd generic linux linux-readline macosx mingw posix solaris
</P>
<P>
If your platform is listed, just do "<KBD>make xxx</KBD>", where xxx
is your platform name.
<P>
If your platform is not listed, try the closest one or posix, generic,
c89, in this order.
<P>
<LI>
The compilation takes only a few moments
and produces three files in the <TT>src</TT> directory:
lua (the interpreter),
luac (the compiler),
and liblua.a (the library).
<P>
<LI>
To check that Lua has been built correctly, do "<KBD>make test</KBD>"
after building Lua. This will run the interpreter and print its version.
</OL>
<P>
If you're running Linux, try "<KBD>make linux-readline</KBD>" to build the interactive Lua interpreter with handy line-editing and history capabilities.
If you get compilation errors,
make sure you have installed the <TT>readline</TT> development package
(which is probably named <TT>libreadline-dev</TT> or <TT>readline-devel</TT>).
If you get link errors after that,
then try "<KBD>make linux-readline MYLIBS=-ltermcap</KBD>".
<H3>Installing Lua</H3>
<P>
Once you have built Lua, you may want to install it in an official
place in your system. In this case, do "<KBD>make install</KBD>". The official
place and the way to install files are defined in the <TT>Makefile</TT>. You'll
probably need the right permissions to install files, and so may need to do "<KBD>sudo make install</KBD>".
<P>
To build and install Lua in one step, do "<KBD>make all install</KBD>",
or "<KBD>make xxx install</KBD>",
where xxx is your platform name.
<P>
To install Lua locally after building it, do "<KBD>make local</KBD>".
This will create a directory <TT>install</TT> with subdirectories
<TT>bin</TT>, <TT>include</TT>, <TT>lib</TT>, <TT>man</TT>, <TT>share</TT>,
and install Lua as listed below.
To install Lua locally, but in some other directory, do
"<KBD>make install INSTALL_TOP=xxx</KBD>", where xxx is your chosen directory.
The installation starts in the <TT>src</TT> and <TT>doc</TT> directories,
so take care if <TT>INSTALL_TOP</TT> is not an absolute path.
<DL CLASS="display">
<DT>
bin:
<DD>
lua luac
<DT>
include:
<DD>
lua.h luaconf.h lualib.h lauxlib.h lua.hpp
<DT>
lib:
<DD>
liblua.a
<DT>
man/man1:
<DD>
lua.1 luac.1
</DL>
<P>
These are the only directories you need for development.
If you only want to run Lua programs,
you only need the files in <TT>bin</TT> and <TT>man</TT>.
The files in <TT>include</TT> and <TT>lib</TT> are needed for
embedding Lua in C or C++ programs.
<H3><A NAME="customization">Customization</A></H3>
<P>
Three kinds of things can be customized by editing a file:
<UL>
<LI> Where and how to install Lua — edit <TT>Makefile</TT>.
<LI> How to build Lua — edit <TT>src/Makefile</TT>.
<LI> Lua features — edit <TT>src/luaconf.h</TT>.
</UL>
<P>
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.
<P>
On the other hand, if you need to customize some Lua features, you'll need
to edit <TT>src/luaconf.h</TT> 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.
<H3><A NAME="other">Building Lua on other systems</A></H3>
<P>
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:
<DL CLASS="display">
<DT>
library:
<DD>
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 lcorolib.c ldblib.c liolib.c lmathlib.c loadlib.c loslib.c lstrlib.c ltablib.c lutf8lib.c linit.c
<DT>
interpreter:
<DD>
library, lua.c
<DT>
compiler:
<DD>
library, luac.c
</DL>
<P>
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 <EM>don't</EM> 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; <TT>src/Makefile</TT> 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.
<P>
As mentioned above, you may edit <TT>src/luaconf.h</TT> to customize
some features before building Lua.
