Building Lua on Windows

• luafilesystem

  3 863 4.5 C

  LuaFileSystem is a Lua library developed to complement the set of functions related to file systems offered by the standard Lua distribution.

  

The Lua ecosystem is just fine on Windows if one is careful to use modules with both native Win32 and *NIX support. For example, the Lua File system module goes to a lot of bother to run just as well in a Windows and a *NIX environment.

  Lunacy is a fork of Lua 5.1 being actively maintained

I like having a language which can quickly do a lot more than what BASH/Sed/AWK can do fit in a 116,224 byte sized Windows 32-bit binary, but I have had to do some hacking, both making my own custom compile of Lua and making a number of Lua functions to fill in the blanks while keeping things small and trivial to install on either native Windows, as a Cygwin program, or as a program in Linux or pretty much any POSIX compatible *NIX clone (including MacOS).
