How to compile srlua?
How do I Make an executable Lua script using srlua?
The first link is the exact question I am asking here. However, the sole answer is unsatisfactory as it assumes multiple things, namely that the OP is already using Cmake (a fact disproved by the OP's comment on the answer). The second link seems to already be most of the way through a tutorial, and while a link to precompiled binaries for both srlua.exe and srglue.exe are provided, the link no longer contains binaries but instead the source.
I have found several other threads on various websites all asking the same thing, but all of them either assume that you essentially already know how, or explain nothing (many have potentially helpful links, but they are old and no longer work).
I have already tried to compile srlua, and got a srglue.exe, but when I tried srlua.c I ended up with a list of undefined references (such as "lua_type" or "lua_getfield").
lua_getfield, lua_type, lua_settop, lua_getfield, lua_type, lua_settop, lua_pushstring, lua_pushinteger, lua_call, lua_pushfstring, lua_load, lua_tolstring, lua_tointeger, lua_touserdata, luaL_openlibs, lua_createtable, lua_pushstring, lua_rawseti, lua_setfield, luaL_checkstack, lua_pushstring, lua_call, lua_tolstring, luaL_callmeta, lua_type, lua_type, lua_typename, lua_pushfstring, luaL_newstate, lua_pushcclosure, lua_pushcclosure, lua_pushinteger, lua_pushlightuserdata, lua_pcall, lua_tolstring, lua_close
My question is this:
How does one use a C compiler (I know the basics of gcc) to compile srlua specifically? Or, if anyone has a functioning link to either precompiled binaries or a tool to compile the binaries, could they share it?
Important: I am on Windows. Thus, I cannot just use make. I must actually compile the .c files to .exe files. I am asking how. If you simply provide links to threads with the aforementioned problems, you are not helping. If you give an answer that assumes in-depth prior knowledge of a particular tool that does not have good documentation, you are not being helpful. If you tell me tools to use, but not the specific procedure for compiling srlua, you are not being helpful. If there is a better place for this, tell me and I can move it there.
I don't know any Windows pre-compiled binaries for srLua.
To compile srLua, you should first install the Mingw compiler to use GCC as a C compiler : you can install TDM-GCC (https://jmeubank.github.io/tdm-gcc) or http://winlibs.com.
You can then open a Console prompt. Enter the "gcc" command to be sure that the compiler is working (and that the PATH is correctly set).
Then go to the directory you extracted the srLua source files and type the command :
mingw32-make
Cross your fingers and it should compile everything :)
When linking, you should include the Lua libraries with the -l Switch : -llua54 for Lua 5.4 library for examples.
I found this already compiled release on webarchive, it's kinda old but works:

Good morning,
I need to compile libgcc from scratch without deploying the ARM optimized version which is defined in ieee754-sf.s in the ARM back-end.
Does anyone knows how to configure GCC for excluding ieee754-sf.s ( in libgcc/config/arm ) to compile from scratch libgcc, in particular compiling vanilla floating-point soft-fp emulation which is in libgcc/spft-fp ?
Thanks
I dont know a configure command which does what you want. However if you want to do these modifications, you will need to modify lib1funcs.S to delete the references to the two files. you will need also to modify the t files (t-elf and t-arm at least) . gcc/config/arm/elf.h sould probably be modified too.
You can take a look at microblaze config directory. it shows a minimalist example
I have some C++ code using NEON intrinsics. From what I have read, all you need to do is include arm_neon.h to your project.. And then I read that this arm_neon.h header is not actually readily available to you automatically, you have to get it from the web. So I found and added this version to my project:
http://clang.llvm.org/doxygen/arm__neon_8h-source.html
In my project's prefix.pch I added:
#import "arm_neon.h"
And when I try to build on my iPhone6 device (I am not using the simulator), I get a billion errors inside the arm_neon.h file:
Can anyone please explain to me what I am missing here?
You've been misinformed about being able to pick up an arm_neon.h from the Internet. Generally the header is not just compiler specific, but compiler version (even compiler revision) specific. For GCC it relies on a number of compiler built in function calls, and from your screenshot of Clang the same holds there. As you'd expect, if the name of these internal-only functions changes, the header will fail to compile.
What surprises me is that you're unable to use an include of whichever arm_neon.h ships with your build environment. The only thing I can think of that would cause this is the build command trying to build for x86_64 (for the simulator) but you say this isn't what is happening. It might be worth checking your build settings one more time.
If you're still not getting anywhere, remember that arm_neon.h is sometimes considered as a system header, so in C++ you might need to #include <arm_neon.h> rather than #include "arm_neon.h" to get the compiler to search the system paths.
I'm trying to build a project (namely, Angband's source - http://rephial.org/downloads/3.3/angband-v3.3.2.tar.gz) with Emscripten's emcc in order to port it to Javascript and ultimately build an online version.
I've managed to get the process started with
emconfigure ./configure
make
which begins to successfully start generating LLVM bitcode .o files, but then it hangs up on main-gcu.c with 'main-gcu.c:43:11: fatal error: 'ncurses.h' file not found'
I believe main-gcu.c is the only file that references ncurses, but I just can't figure out how to include the library while compiling. Is there a way to specify including ncurses with 'make', or should I compile the main-gcu.c file individually, with 'emcc main-gcu.c -c -lncurses'? I tried doing that but that led to another error with emcc being unable to find other actually included header files two levels down (it couldn't find headers that were included by a header included by main-gcu.c - anyway to fix that?).
I'm also not certain if I have/need to install the ncurses library on Mac OSX. All I can really find are references to libncurses5-dev for Linux.
Thanks!
I think you misunderstand the compilation via Emscripten. I will try to point out a few problems you are facing.
The general rule is that all tools of Emscripten ONLY can turn LLVM formats (e.g. BITCODE) into JavaScript. emconfigure, emmake, ... modify the build environment so that your sourcecode is compiled to one of the LLVM formats (there are exceptions to the rule but nevermind). So anything you want to link against your final result has to be in a LLVM format, as well (which by default ncurses is not).
Since the output is JavaScript, there is no chance to execute any program code in different threads. While a lot of C/C++ code does use a thread for the UI and others for processing, such a model does NOT work for Emscripten. So in order to get the software compiling/running you will have to rewrite the parts that use threading. See emscripten_set_main_loop for pointers.
Even if you have the libraries compiled you then have to statically link them to Emscripten. At this point it is less of a technical problem but more of a license issue since if your library is licensed under e.g. LGPL due to static linking the GPL terms are effective.
I hope all clarity finally vanished ;)
I am having some trouble compiling a programm with gcc on windows which was initially developed with Visual Studio. So far I was able to resolve almost all problems like missing header files and such, but now I am stuck at one last thing: gcc fails to link to one of the third party libs my program uses (FlyCapture2.lib). It tells me that it does not find any of the functions/methods there. I already checked if the library is actually on the library path and that sort of things, but it still does not work.
I searched a bit around and learned that it might have something to do with the format of .libs created with the Microsoft compiler. Is there any way to convert such a lib to be compatible with gcc? Anything else I might have missed?
(I already found this similar question, but its solution won't work here)
