Re: LuaForWindows update?

[Arie van Wingerden <xapwing@...>]

Peter,

please help me a bit with LuaDist. I think I get stuck in the docs; I did the following (in 32bits Win7):

 1) install MinGW:

    - download latest mingw-get-inst- .. exe file

    - execute that file (this installs "c:\mingw" on the system

 2) download LuaDist package:

        https://github.com/downloads/LuaDist/Repository/LuaDist-batteries-0.9.1-Windows-mingw32.zip

    - unzip the package to:

         "C:\LuaDist-batteries-0.9.1-Windows-mingw32\"

      this results in the following subdirectories created in there:

         bin

         include

         lib

         share

 3) I open a command prompt and:

    - cd to "C:\LuaDist-batteries-0.9.1-Windows-mingw32\"

 4) Building LuaDist can now be started using the build.bat script:

       ===> error: build.bat not found

       ===> also for the next step "bootstrap.bat" is missing

What am I doing wrong?

TIA

LuaForWindows updates will slowly be discontinued (see list archives for reasons and details). Currently the LuaDist project aims to take its place with the Batteries[2] package. Binary downloads are also available here [3]. However the 1.0 LuaDist Batteries release will still use Lua 5.1.5. Moving to Lua 5.2 will still take some time as many of the modules are not compatible.
