Error after compiling

justdie

I compiled my untitled.lua file to a .exe file and now whenever it uses os.execute, it gives me an error about attemping to index a nil global value os, may be important to mention its a desktop app not a command line app

Hi justdie,

The "os" module is not included in LuaRT. To use it for a compiled executable, you will need to compile your script with the dynamic runtime, and use the the std version of Lua54.dll file along the generated exe.

LuaRT Studio uses the std lua54.dll. You can find it in the bin\ folder.
With LuaRT you can find it in bin\std folder.

As a side note, instead of os.execute() you can use sys.cmd() with LuaRT
