Luadyn

Samir

Hi Community,

As a side project I have just published Luadyn, a library to get ride of lua54.dll on Windows, even with binary modules.

As you might guess, I will try to integrate it to LuaRT and to rtc to remove the lua54.dll dependency even for static compilation.

seems very interesting and going in the right direction; I have a need for it and I'm looking forward for its future usage in LuaRT/rtc as well

faild building C module

everything builds fine, except C module:

src\nmake.cmd

Building ....OK
Building module C 0.7 .......Nmake: fatal error U1077: link.exe return code 0x49d

src\nmake.cmd debug

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'src\lib\x64\libdyncall_s.lib'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.33.31629\bin\HostX64\x64\link.exe"' : return code '0x450'

Stop.

in makefile:

LIBS= "$(LUART_PATH)\lib\lua54.lib" "src/lib/$(PLATFORM)/libdyncall_s.lib" "src/lib/$(PLATFORM)/libdynload_s.lib" user32.lib shlwapi.lib

so libdynload_s.lib is a required missing party library? doc does not mention this.

is it luadyn ?

luadyn also failed

For the C Module : the dyncall library files were missing, I have pushed the fix right now

For luadyn : just create the lib\ folder it should fix the compilation (the fix have been pushed too)

ruby

great, both ok now.
I kind of asked about this long ago, static build, and with the ability to load library.
another big step.
congratulations
