Lua For Mac Os

 



ZeroBrane Studio is a lightweight Lua IDE with code completion, syntaxhighlighting, live coding, code analyzer, and debugging supportfor Lua 5.1, Lua 5.2, Lua 5.3,LuaJIT, and other Lua engines.

To build and install Lua in one step, do 'make all install', or 'make xxx install', where xxx is your platform name. To install Lua locally after building it, do 'make local'. This will create a directory installwith subdirectories bin, include, lib, man, share, and install Lua as listed below. Running Lua on macOS Lua is a lightweight programming language and has good reputation among game engines. In this article, you will learn how to install and use the latest version of Lua (5.2.x) on Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion or Snow Leopard.

It is feature-rich and extensible for experienced developers,yet simple and instantly usable for beginners (as tested with middle andhigh school students with no programming experience).Unlike Eclipse and IntelliJ, it has a small footprint and is fully customizable with Lua.Unlike TextMate and Sublime Text, it includes a remote debugger and a full IDE feature set.Unlike Decoda, it runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux and supports various Lua versions with on-device debugging.

ZeroBrane Studio also provides several unique features: live coding forimmediate feedback, Markdown formatting in comments for providinginstructions with minimal context switching, and integrated interactivematerials for those learning Lua or getting familiar with programming.

The installation package includes some of the most popular Lua libraries (luasocket,luafilesystem,luasec,and lpeg) compiled for Lua 5.1, 5.2, and 5.3 versions on all supported platforms.

For those interested in game and mobile development, the IDE supports debugging forLÖVE,Corona,Moai,Gideros,Marmalade Quick,Cocos2d-x,and other engines.It also supports general Lua debugging forOpenResty/Nginx,Redis,Torch7,Wireshark,GSL-shell,Adobe Lightroom,Lapis,Moonscript,home automation,and more.

How to compile Lua 5.4.0 as a Mac OS X dynamic library

This is a tutorial on how to compile Lua 5.4.0 as a Mac OS X dynamic library (liblua.dylib).

This tutorial on how to compile Lua as a Mac OS X dynamic library resulting in a liblua5.4.0.dylib is based on the instructions provided by Adrian Perez – thank you!

1. download and build Lua as stated in the Lua FAQ but force a 64-bit compilation

2
4
6
curl-R-Ohttp://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.4.0.tar.gz
cd lua-5.4.0

2. add a new dynamic build rule to the src/makefile and build the library with

2
4
echo'liblua5.4.0.dylib: $(CORE_O) $(LIB_O)'>>src/makefile
echo-e't$(CC) -dynamiclib -o $@ $^ $(LIBS) -arch x86_64 -compatibility_version 5.4.0 -current_version 5.4.0 -install_name @rpath/$@'>>src/makefile

See Frameworks and Binding for information about the install_name.
You’re done! You should now have a lua interpreter, a luac compiler and a liblua5.4.0.dylib.
