Lua -> Native exe ?

[codemaniac]

Hello!

I have been using Lua for the past 2 weeks and I love it very much! It is very easy to use and quite portable too, but the problem is that I can't save my Lua projects as native executables.. Does anybody know of a 3rd party application to do that? Or perhaps use C/C++ to embed Lua and then compile that to a native exe? What about libraries such as gtk2.so? What about Linux or Mac OS Z?

Thanks in advance!

I thought I remember reading ways you could compile Lua to exe, with 3rd party. You asked in the lua forums? Try, for example some of these:
From HTTP://LUA-USERS.ORG/WIKI/LUAADDONS
# [lua2c] (5.0) - a tool for converting Lua code into C. [ then you can use free comppilers such as Watcom to turn C to exe. ]
OR:
# [Ngui] - An Xml/Lua binding to win32 Gui for windows98/NT/2000/Xp and PocketPC (windowsCE Arm).
# [PBLua] (5.0.2) - a Purebasic library wrapping Lua 5.0.2.
# [SWIG] (5.0) - An easy to use tool to automatically bind C/C++ code to Lua and many other scripting languages
# [wxLua] (5.1) - a blend of Lua and wxWidgets. Provides its own IDE (written in wxLua) with a GUI debugger, a binding generator and wxWidgets bindings usable as a module (see also the LibrariesAndBindings page).

You can use PB.
There exist some lib coded by FloHimself that let you embed LUA in PB.
