Lua v. 5.1.3 Headers

[José Roca]

 
Lua is a powerful, fast, light-weight, embeddable scripting language.

Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.

The attached file includes mytranslation of the LUA C headers to PowerBASIC, as well as some useful wrapper functions and lua5.1.dll.

Note Lua 5.1.3 for Windows has a dependency on msvcr80.dll, the C-Runtime Library for Microsoft Visual C 2005. To use it with PowerBASIC you need to embed Microsoft.VC80.CRT.manifest in a resource file that, in turn, will be embeded in your application.

Once compiled with the resource compiler (RC.EXE), include it in your application as follows:
