Re: turnning lua code to executable in a C program

[Amir Ramezani <amir.ramezani1370@...>]

i'm using windows 7, with GCC 4.8.1 with C++ 11 and lua 5.1
l is a pointer to lua_State, and globalChunkInfo is a struct with
these deffinitions:
typedef struct GlobalChunkInfo {
unsigned long offset;
unsigned long length;
unsigned long count;
unsigned long long magic;
} GlobalChunkInfo;
