Installing the Project
Just like any open-source software, we are open to contributors and would love to have some extra helping hands! This section will go over how to correctly install the Lua++ project so that you can become a contributor.
Before you can get to contributing you need to install Lua++'s few dependencies. Instructions are listed below in the order of your operating system.
You need to install make
, flex
, and bison
. To install them on a Linux machine run the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install flex
sudo apt install bison
sudo apt install make
Then you need to enter the main source folder and build the desired project (e.g. make interpreter
). The binaries are stored in src/bin
with luappc
being the compiler, luappvm
the VM, and luapp
the interpreter.
Thank you for showing interest Lua++, we hope that we can get as much assistance from the community as possible. Happy coding!
