  • More of a Windows question, probably, but: How to run Lua from Git Bash/Zsh in Windows?
    1 project | /r/lua | 2 Aug 2023
    However, after installing the package Lua For Windows, that apparently installs the tools in the infamous WindowsApps folder, I can't run lua from the zsh terminal, getting this error:

  • It's never been easier to get Lua! Just type < winget install "lua for windows" > into terminal and you're done! (No <> in the terminal) Tell your friends!

    Earlier, I submitted Lua For Windows to the Winget repository.
  • How Do I Edit the UI of an App That Uses IUP?
    1 project | /r/lua | 27 Jun 2021
    I had to resort to going here: https://github.com/rjpcomputing/luaforwindows/releases to get Lua bundled with a bunch of libraries, including IUP. It's out-of-date (Lua 5.1), but that's what CityBinder was made with anyway, so maybe it doesn't matter? It comes with SciTE to edit with.
  • Windows: 'unexpected symbol' errors upon running any script
    1 project | /r/lua | 22 May 2021
    I had a Windows installation of 'luaForWindows' that, for some reason stopped working. It stopped working in the following way. I could load a lua interpreter, but each time I ran a lua script I got an error about unexpected symbol near ' '. (What a helpful message!) Previously I had uninstalled some Visual C libraries. Reinstalling the libraries, and indeed reinstalling luaForWindows, did not help. I discovered that luaForWindows looked unmaintained so I got lua binaries (in the x64 version) from SourceForge, marvelled at the lack there - or almost anywhere - of instructions, and did the following.
  • Lua's Lack of “Batteries”

    Having a set of "blessed" libraries has definitely been discussed on the mailing list. Also there are plenty of "distributions" like Lua for Windows[1], LuaPower[2], or runtimes like Luvit[3] that add features ootb.

    That said - the Lua ecosystem in 2021 is not the same as it was in 2005 or whenever people compare it to. There is a healthy amount of Libraries and choices of libraries for solving most tasks on Luarocks. And I would suggest you produce a better end project by selecting which libraries are included in your project that uses Lua for scripting. You can even further remove your choice of the libraries that _are_ included ootb.
