Newbie: Compiling eLua to bytecode

[lee]

Hi All,

I am looking to make a PIC32 port of eLua.
So far I have compiled the Lua portion of eLua (none of the platform specific stuff) to run on the PIC32 with no problems, but I am having problems compiling the compiler portion of the project to run on my PC. I am wanting to load bytecode on to my PIC32 target.

I have tried using LuaForWindows and MinGW tools to compile under Windows, but I run into the following issue:-
[LINK] luac.cross
.build/cross-lua\src__lua__lapi.o: file not recognized: File format not recogniz
ed
collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status
[builder] Error building target
[builder] Last executed command was:
gcc -o luac.cross .build/cross-lua\src__lua__lapi.o

Full listing below.


I have tried creating a Visual Studios project, which I did successfully with the latest Lua.org code. The VS C compiler is not C99 compatible and this seems to be causing an issue.


I have tried following the Linux installation instruction on Ubuntu but the binutils/gcc/newlib instructions fail.


Can anyone recommend the best way to get the eLua compiler running on a PC?

Cheers,

Lee
