rtc is a Lua script to executable builder/compiler for Windows operating systems.
Generated executables are able to run without requiring a Lua installation.
Main features :
- Standalone tool : no Makefile, no C compiler needed
- Compile from command line or using a GUI frontend
- Build Windows native executable (.exe) from your Lua 5.4.4 scripts
- Windows desktop or console applications
- Static executables (without lua54.dll dependency)
- Dynamic executables (with lua54.dll dependency)
- Embed any files with your executable, even Lua binary modules with in-memory loading
- Access embedded files seamlessly from your Lua scripts
- Deploy your applications easily without the need to install Lua
rtc is part of, and developped using LuaRT, the Windows programming framework, but can be used with standard Lua scripts.
