Lua interpreter

This repository packages the programming language compiler and interpreter for Lua on BoredOS.

Decoupled Building

This repository is designed to compile either within the main BoredOS tree OR completely standalone.

1. Integrated Build (Within BoredOS)

If built from the BoredOS root tree, the build system passes BOREDOS_SDK to the Makefile. It immediately compiles Lua against the shared pre-built SDK:

make BOREDOS_SDK=/path/to/shared/sdk

2. Standalone Build (Isolated Clone)

If cloned completely separately in isolation, running make will automatically bootstrap the SDK:

make

If build/sdk is missing, the Makefile automatically clones the pure standard library dependency from https://github.com/boredos/libc.git, compiles it, installs it to build/sdk, and builds lua.elf standalone!

Staging Installation

To stage the Lua executable into your target initrd root filesystem directory:

make DESTDIR=/path/to/initrd/root install
  • Binary is routed to /bin/lua.elf
