Building LuaPlus for Windows

Prerequisites

• Download Wget. One location to grab it from is http://users.ugent.be/~bpuype/wget/. Put wget.exe in your PATH.
• Download unzip from http://www.info-zip.org/UnZip.html. Put unzip.exe in your PATH.

For Visual Studio:

• From http://www.npcglib.org/~stathis/blog/precompiled-openssl/, download openssl-1.0.2f-vs20xx.7z (where the 'xx' is replaced with your version of Visual Studio). Extract it to c:\openssl-1.0.2f-vs20xx, so that c:\openssl-1.0.2f-vs20xx\include exists.

(deprecated) For earlier versions of Visual Studio:

• From https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html, download Win32 OpenSSL v1.0.2g. Install Win32OpenSSL-1_0_2g.exe to c:\OpenSSL-Win32.
• From https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html, download Win64 OpenSSL v1.0.2g. Install Win64OpenSSL-1_0_2g.exe to c:\OpenSSL-Win64.

Build LuaPlus

• If you haven't already, clone LuaPlus from GitHub with:

d:\>git clone https://github.com/jjensen/luaplus51-all.git luaplus

• To create a workspace and bootstrap the build environment, run one of the following batch files.

  • CreateVS2010Workspace.bat - Create a Visual Studio 2010-capable workspace.
  • CreateVS2012Workspace.bat - Create a Visual Studio 2012-capable workspace.
  • CreateVS2013Workspace.bat - Create a Visual Studio 2013-capable workspace.
  • CreateVS2015Workspace.bat - Create a Visual Studio 2015-capable workspace.

• Choose the version of Lua to build within the workspace. Note that the -luaplus versions build additional LuaPlus-specific features into the Lua environment; these are the preferred environments for LuaPlus.

• If you want lua-curl support, run the following (where build201x is your own build directory):

d:\luaplus\build201x>jam download:curl

• If you want the PCRE module to build, run the following (where build201x is your own build directory):

d:\luaplus\Src\modules.jambuild>getpcre.bat

If you want to build from an IDE:

• Within Visual Studio, navigate to build201x\_workspace_\vs201x\ (replace the vs201x with the IDE version your are building for) and open LuaPlus.sln.
• Build the solution.

If you want to build from the command-line, use:

rem Builds to d:\luaplus\build201x\bin.lua5x-luaplus.vs20xx.win32
d:\luaplus\build201x>jam c.toolchain=win32/release

rem Builds to d:\luaplus\build201x\bin.lua5x-luaplus.vs20xx.win32
d:\luaplus\build201x>jam c.toolchain=win32/debug

rem Builds to d:\luaplus\build201x\bin.lua5x-luaplus.vs20xx.win64
d:\luaplus\build201x>jam c.toolchain=win64/release

rem Builds to d:\luaplus\build201x\bin.lua5x-luaplus.vs20xx.win64
d:\luaplus\build201x>jam c.toolchain=win64/debug
