# srlua and rbuild
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## srlua
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The srlua tool is based on the original project here:
|
||
|
|
https://github.com/LuaDist/srlua
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The tool is a way to build single runtime executables (for multiple platforms) that bind the lua script and resources together.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The sokol-luajit project is using srlua in the following way:
|
||
|
|
- Modified srlua to support luajit library
|
||
|
|
- Builds a "luajit" runtime that can embed script object files or plain scripts.
|
||
|
|
- Collates resources into one or more packages (as per rbuild settings)
|
||
|
|
- Enabled various modules and features depending on the settings in rbuild
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
srlua can be used manually like so:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
glue.exe srlua.exe mystartupscript.lua myprogram.exe
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
The first two commands must be always used. Many scripts can be combined, but the first script is always the initial calling script when 'myprogram.exe' is run.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Future development of srlua will support:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- [ ] encrypted lua scripts (currently only compressed!)
|
||
|
|
- [ ] project files (to list hierarchies of scripts etc)
|
||
|
|
- [ ] resource files (like images, data files etc) to be packed into a zlib styled resource package
|
||
|
|
- [ ] binding luajit bytecode output files - this should already sort of be possible.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It is expected that srlua will evolve quite dramatically from its current incarnation
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## rbuild
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
RBuild will be the user level interface to build release packages for a platform
|
||
|
|
RBuild calls srlua with options to package the binaries needed and the scripts needed for a project.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Eventually RBuild will become of the editor. Its initial development is to design and configure the build process.
