On some systems, there may be several aliases to that file. Some possible names are lua53.dll (Windows), liblua5.3.so (Debian, Ubuntu etc) and liblua.so.5.3 (Red Hat, Fedora etc). Change the line defining LUA_LIB_NAME to that of your system's Lua 5.3 shared library. Download of the unit and save it under the name lua53.pas. Result := luaL_dostring(L, 'print (unpack,table.unpack)') ġ. Only one unit lua52 is needed, not three units. To retain Lua compatibility, the types PAnsiChar and AnsiString are now used. Note that PChar and String in Free Pascal have been implemented as Unicode since December 2009. A more recent version (1 March 2014) with mainly cosmetic changes is available but attempts to upload it have so far failed. See the comments at the start of lua52.pas for full details. Some further improvements, including Delphi compatibility, were added by Vladimir Klimov.

This update conforming to Lua 5.2 was made by Egor Skriptunoff. Some possible names are lua52.dll (Windows), liblua5.2.so (Debian, Ubuntu etc) and liblua.so.5.2 (Red Hat, Fedora etc). Change the line defining LUA_LIB_NAME to that of your system's Lua 5.2 shared library. Download of the unit and save it under the name lua52.pas. Some names starting with lua_L are different (probably typos): luaL_dofile => lua_dofile Int => IntegerYou can always look at the interface of lauxlib.pas etc (package fpc-source on Ubuntu) to make sure. LuaL_Reg => lua_CFunctionMost others are obvious, with P used for pointer, e.g. Alternatively, you can store your Lua code in files, or put it all on one line. In order to split strings over multiple lines in Free Pascal, create multiple string constants that are concatenated via the '+' operator.

There is no documentation, but you can use the Lua manual since the call sequences are basically identical, with only a few exceptions. For Lua 5.2 and later, see the sections below.

is a well-supported Pascal compiler available on many platforms.Īll routines from the C API and auxiliary library mentioned in the Lua 5.1 reference manual are supported in the lua, lualib or lauxlib libraries of Free Pascal 2.4. Lua-users wiki: Lua In Free Pascal Lua In Free Pascal
