justdie Any plans to bring luart to macos and maybe even linux? I'd like to make a gui for an ios jailbreaking tool which requires to have a mac or a linux computer, im not sure if those would work with wsl in the first place but i really enjoy using luart and i'd like to be able to keep on using it
justdie Also are there any sort of buttons animations that could make the gui look better? not that it matters but everyone likes fancy ui (asking if i can add images to buttons)
Samir Sorry justdie, but LuaRT is really tied to the Windows programming API and imagining porting it to Linux or Macos would require a near complete rewrite. I've tried to use it through the Wine emulator on Linux and it worked fine, if it ever helps.
justdie wine? i tried wine from brew on my macos and it failed almost instantly, tho im not sure if it changes anything but i used wine64
Samir You can add icons to Buttons, Menus, Items (from Tab, Combobox, List, Tree) and Windows. You have the Picture object to use images too (PNG, jpeg, bmp...)
CheneyDu Hi， I would like to know the current progress of this issue. My requirement is to use Task and related modules on the Linux platform, with no UI needed for now. Based on my review of the Task module's source code, I found it has Windows dependencies. I could attempt to develop a Linux-compatible version. [Login to see the link]
Samir I think about porting LuaRT Core to Linux (no GUI, no external modules), but too much work for now. I am working on a YAML, XML and capture module (for audio/vidéo) for next release and on a package manager for LuaRT for noW
CheneyDu Samir Thanks your reply! I just realized the Task module is actually a coroutine wrapper, not a thread-based system like I originally thought. Since that's the case, this isn't urgent for me anymore. However, today I came across LuaRT – it looks like a really cool project!
Samir Thank you ! I have tried a thread module some months ago and it was quite running good ...but will need more tests before releasing it
CheneyDu Samir OK，I will continue to follow closely, and if possible, I will try to make some contributions. Our industry is test instrumentation, where Lua finds many applications, such as Keithley's TSP.
CheneyDu And, have you considered releasing the test version earlier? We can assist with the testing process.
