Re: lua5 palmos port (general 16 bit)

[Haemish Graham <haemish@...>]

Well after a rather long session I have compiles of Lua4 and Lua5 which 
run on a Palm (in the emulator on a PalmOS4 debug ROM) which succesfully 
run a simple script.
lua_dostring(L, "fu=42; bar=69; jfrg=fu*bar;")

I do not want to post the port publically yet as I 'borrowed' a few 
snippets of code from various places which will need to be credited or 
rewritten before it is made available. Those that want me to email you 
the source drop me an email. It is probably wise to warn you that this 
port has been sponsered by several very strong cups of coffee and it is 
not pretty. In order to use it you will have to be sufficiently 
competant with the gcc tool chain to handle sections. The sections are 
imaginatively called luasect1, luasect2 and luasect3. No attempt has 
been made to make sure things that call each other are in the same section.

Having succesfully exhausted my capacity to think can someone please let 
me know how I run a Lua script that I precompiled with luac. Is the byte 
code platform  independant? I compiled my lua script with luac under 
Win2000 but I want to load it as a binary resource on PalmOS and pass it 
to Lua.

Cheers.
