Okay. That's good to know. Being lazy, I'll just ask - does it use a MS 
compiler or a GNU compiler? Last time I just downloaded the source for 
Linux and didn't even think about Windows.

To follow up on LuaEclipse, I was unable to get the debugger working by 
following the instructions at:

http://luaeclipse.luaforge.net/manual.html

I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 with the Eclipse package installed. Help -> 
About yields "Version: 3.5.1 Build id: M20090917-0800".

I could use the Eclipse Software Updates method (in Installation at the 
link above). That allows me to edit and run Lua code. But it doesn't 
appear to support the debugger, so I followed the instructions for "By 
manual download". That includes a zip archive of all the (extra?) .jar 
files.

By the way, the instructions were a little bit wrong - the .zip file 
needs to be uncompressed first, then the contents of features/ and 
plugins/ need to be moved to the corresponding Eclipse areas (I think). 
For me, that was /usr/share/eclipse.

I tried a number of things to get the debugger to work - among them 
creating a remote Java debugging configuration - but I could not see how 
to get it to work.

I may have a version mismatch or something. The instructions mentioned 
Eclipse 3.3.x and I've got 3.5.x, for example.

It looks promising; I hope to get it figured out some day.
