RE: modifying tolua

["Mark Fredrik Gumban" <mgumban_tsii@...>]

Ah, its working now without using the embedded tolualua.c code.  I don't
know why though, I just added lua2c.lua to the list (it wasnt there).

I had the same problem with the included script files (they are all enbeded
on tolualua.c actually). Here's what I added to the Makefile to get it to
recompile when I change a .lua file:

--
SCRIPTS = array.lua \
basic.lua \
class.lua \
clean.lua  \
code.lua  \
container.lua \
declaration.lua \
define.lua \
doit.lua \
enumerate.lua \
feature.lua \
function.lua \
lua2c.lua \
module.lua \
operator.lua \
package.lua \
typedef.lua \
variable.lua \
verbatim.lua


tolualua.c: $(SCRIPTS)
         tolua -H tolualua.h -o tolualua.c tolualua.pkg
--

right before the 'OBJS' line. That'll rebuild 'tolualua.c' everytime you
change on of the script files, and compile everything in the binary. As you
can see, it uses tolua, so you need to keep a copy of a working binary. I
don't know about the modifications you made, but that should make it easier
to test it.

hope it helps.. bye..
