Re: Lua on Cris

[Robert Hibberdine <bob.hibberdine@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm back in lua land now...

Lua can be used for dynamic web pages. See www.kepler.org. Be sure to 
check out the current mail list.

I will be trying to put a minimal package to do web stuff over the next 
few days. Not sure how I'll fare as I've not used CGI before.

The latest version of lua is 5.1. It was released in Feb 2006 and so is 
very new. The web stuff in the Kepler project uses version 5.0. For this 
reason I am currently using 5.0 myself.

I have put together a source "package" containing lua-5.0 and two 
libraries for sockets and filesystem acceess. The makefiles are a bit 
messy but they work.

Lua is available under  the MIT license. So I am currently also  putting 
together a "binary package" with  can run  from  anywhere including /tmp.

I will add the CGI stuff to these packages over the next week.

I like lua alot. (say that 10 times quickly). It seems quick , stable  
and does not take up toooo much room. It's also nice to program in. For 
the unitiated here's a link: www.lua.org
