Re: Lua Windows x64 Binaries (with "batteries")

I have tried LuaVM just now, but another restriction is that I don't have admin rights in this machine :(

In another note, I tried porting to use the module in LuaPower, only to hit LuaJIT's 31-bit memory restriction (effectively, 1-2 GB memory limit). The justification for why that is [1] might make me reconsider my approach, but this is for another thread.

Here is my little project LuaVM ( https://github.com/xpol/luavm ). Which provide pre-built Windows binaries (include 64 bit) with LuaRocks included.

1. Download and install 64 bit version
2. Use `luavm use 5.1` to active Lua 5.1 (or `luavm use luajit-2.0` `luavm use luajit-2.1` for LuaJIT versions).
3. Then use luarocks to install LuaSQL-MySQL. (You may need to install MySQL 64bit driver library for Windows (https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/c/) and pass the install path to luarocks like: `luarocks install luasql-mysql MYSQL_DIR=/path/to/mysql`)

Disclaimer: I have never used LuaSQL and LuaSQL-MySQL.

Where I mentioned LuaDist, I meant Lua Binaries (luabinaries.sourceforge.net). LuaDist seems to be in the second category.

Hello,

Is there a place where I can fetch pre-built Windows x64 binaries for Lua and LuaSQL?
My code is currently Lua 5.1-compliant and uses luasql-mysql, but I hit memory limit for x86 process space.

I am trying to find binaries (via http://lua-users.org/wiki/LuaDistributions and others), but it seems like there are:
- Lua x64, but no LuaSQL (LuaDist - http://www.luadist.org/ , ULua - http://ulua.io/)
- Lua with LuaSQL, but x86 only (Lua for Windows - https://github.com/rjpcomputing/luaforwindows)
- LuaJIT x64, with its own "mysql" module (Lua Power - https://luapower.com/)

As of now I have no experience in Windows compilation of C code, I can't judge if it is going to take long.

Given that the code that uses LuaSQL is rather small, I am considering porting it to use this module in LuaPower.

Any Ideas?
Thanks!

Diogo
