Re: Linking LuaSocket statically

[Martin Velek <martin.velek@...>]

No,
the idea was to load all files that end with .lua from external
storage and left the ROM space for hardware drivers, etc. E.g. my
plaftorm has LPC2478 - ROM 512KB(space for program, RTOS, etc), 64KB
SRAM and 8MB SDRAM, 2GB SD card. Making some kind of program loader,
run from RAM is quite difficult to me and not neccessary.

However Mr. Cuero Bugot pointed me out that Loop package can produce
only small library/module loader without storing scripts in ROM in
binary form.
