Re: LUA_USE_MACOSX

[Dong Feng <middle.fengdong@...>]

Actually, my method is kind of unconventional. I created an Xcode project that includes all Lua source files, with three targets, for liblua, luac, and lua. and then set LUA_USE_MACOSX in the build settings, which works fine for the liblua target, but has error for lua (i.e. the interactive mode). I haven't figured out how this approach differs from "make macosx". Do you happen to have any idea?

Thanks,

Dong

We've been using this for several years now and have no complaints till now.

You don't need to enable LUA_USE_MACOSX manually: just build Lua with
"make macosx".

Can you please give details on how you installed a C compiler and how
you build Lua? And which version of Mac OS X you're running.
