|
| 5 | =================================================

|
| 7 | Embedding Lua
|
| 8 | -------------
|
| 9 | The Lua library instance, LuaLib, is defined by StdLib.inc. Since, currently, all applications which
|
| 10 | embed Lua are also StdLib applications, StdLib.inc will be included by your package's .DSC file.
|
| 11 |
|
| 12 | The header files required to use LuaLib are in the standard include path at StdLib\Include\Lua.
|
| 13 | They may be referenced as:
|
| 14 | #include <Lua/lua.h>
|
| 15 | #include <Lua/lualib.h>
|
| 16 | #include <Lua/lauxlib>
|
| 17 | #include <Lua/luaconf.h>
|
| 18 |
|
| 19 | Lua/luaconf.h is the Lua configuration file. If you wish to build Lua with custom characteristics,
|
| 20 | this is the file to modify. Modify the file in StdLib\Include\Lua since the file in the Lua
|
| 21 | source tree is just a stub which references the file in StdLib.
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
|
| 24 | Installation on UEFI
|
| 25 | --------------------
|
| 26 | Install the Lua.efi file into \Efi\Tools. This is the standalone Lua interpreter.
|
| 27 | Create a directory, \Efi\StdLib\lib\Lua. This is the default location for Lua scripts.
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 | If desired, copy the files from AppPkg\Applications\Lua\scripts, in the source tree, into
|
| 30 | \Efi\StdLib\lib\Lua.
|
| 31 |
|
| 32 | Bugs and Other Issues
|
| 33 | ---------------------
|
| 34 | EOF characters, ^D or ^Z, are not properly recognized by the console and can't be used to
|
| 35 | terminate an application. Use os.exit() to exit Lua.
