Hiya I was told that tolua was a really good toolkit for lua so I donwloaded it but I can''t seem to get it to compile. I actually just downloaded lua 4.0 again which came with tolua. I would just like to know how to set it all up so that I can start using it. Thanks a lot for any help. ~Jason ps. heres where I downloaded it from (4.0)

make all

That source code package includes a standard Makefile, so in most cases simply going to the source directory and typing "make all" will build the project. If you are using Visual Studio, I am not certain it supports standard make syntax and Makefiles, so you may need to build the project yourself by hand. I am not sure about this, not being familiar with VS. I have built tolua using Dev-Cpp/Mingw before, and it built flawlessly using standard make syntax on Windows...

For Visual Studio, I''d imagine the simplest way would be to create 2 separate VS projects (however this is done): a library project for all the source files in tolua/src/lib and an .exe project (console, rather than Win32) for all the source files in tolua/src/bin. The source files in /bin compile to build the tolua processor, which reads the stripped header, while the source files in /lib compile to form the library which must be linked with the project using tolua.

If you need any more help, let me know.

Thanks man.

I only use visual cpp and I have really know idea how to make
a file using the makefiles, ive never read anything about it.
making projects by hand can be a real pain in the a$$ sometimes.
How do you use the windows syntax? I read a bit about it...
tolua -o somefile.pkg -n somefile.h
I really have know idea what thats about because ive never
had to use that stuff before. 8|

Oh well, have to wait until tomarrow to check it
out (im on my parents comp now and they wont let me
code on it, and its a new sony viao! )
