Site News :: LuaFLTK Tutorial



Hi,

Thanks for the feedback ...

I am the developer ;-)

There aren't any examples that include "murgaLua.*" ... If there where I'd expect you get this message. What did you get this error with ?

**  EDIT - I think the Linux binary in the archive may have been out
**  of date, did you have problems with the xml and dir progs ?

My testing so far has been with Mepis, Puppy and WinXP.

I did find some build bugs and released an updated package yesterday.

Building it for the older xft and png libraries won't be a problem (what is the best build environment for DammSmall?), however, I think the sqLite lib in DammSmall may be incompatible with one I use which is a little smaller.

Please send me a mail to john@murga.org if you have any more feedback/issues.

I'd be keen for this to be used in DammSmall, so I'll be happy to help.

Cheers
JohnM

I have updated the archive at :

http://www.murga.org/devPages/murgaLua/murgaLua-0.1.tar.gz

It now has internal PNG support and I have included a "_nonXft" version so that that it will work on distros like DammSmall.

I also gave it a quick test on DammSmall and it seems to work OK.

Cheers
JohnM

That was precisely what I had the problems with =o)

Downloading now, playing this afternoon.  Thank you for doing this!

Ok, it seems to be working spendidly.  Thanks.

Now my problem is that I don't know how to use Lua 5 =o)

EDIT: After taking a quick look through the 5.1 manual, it seems like it won't be too big a jump.  The syntax seems pretty much the same, but there are many more functions and many of them are called a little differently.  For example, if you want to get the environment variable "HOME" you'd use os.getenv("HOME") instead of getenv("HOME").  Should be a pretty simple transition.
