Re: Help needed Building static binaries on Windows

[Stefan Schroeder <ondekoza@...>]

This is what each of the generated executables print when run.
I applied the suggested changes (adding include and name assignment),
but this made no difference.

D:\src\srlua-102>.\glue.exe
usage: .\glue.exe in.exe in.lua out.exe

D:\src\srlua-102>.\srlua.exe

D:\src\srlua-102>.\out.exe

(in other words: Nothing is printed)
I've tried to link against lua5.1dll, lua51.dll, lua53.dll, lua5.3.dll.
When adding a simple printf("Hello"); in main of srlua, this is also
not printed.

Something is severely amiss, but there are too many moving parts to
use trial-and-error to figure it out.

Then I looked up the meaning of "-mwindows"? The GCC manual says that
this is for "GUI applications".
I removed it, and, TA-DAH, it works, even after reverting the changes
suggested by Luiz.

Thanks everybody for your help. I will def. come back later, because I
have the gut feeling that using srlua for a complex
application will be much harder than a trivial one.

@Luiz: Do you mind if I provide a patch for the Makefile of srlua-102?

thx
