Installing Lua on Mac OSX 10.6.6

Solar2D Lua Language

Hi,

I am trying to install the standard Lua distribution on Mac OSX and I cannot seem to find a binary that “just works” at Lua.org. I would like to avoid building, but will do so if that’s the only way.

Part of the reason I need Lua is that I want to use SciTE as my editor of choice.

I installed lua by building. it is easy. http://devthought.com/2009/03/17/how-to-install-lua-5-in-mac-os-x-leopard/ just skip the first part, instead download the souce files yourself. follow the rest of the instructions and it works. [import]uid: 46529 topic_id: 12403 reply_id: 45214[/import]

You can also use the prebuilt LuaCocoa framework which contains a mostly stock version of Lua buried inside one of the folders.

Hi Ewing (Eric?),

I have downloaded LuaCocoa. I noted the history behind it too. I’d like to think that all the effort put into it was worth it.
