LuaComp

A general purpose Lua preprocessor and minifier.

Building

To build, either execute luapreproc or luacomp on src/init.lua

luapreproc

Execute luapreproc init.lua ../luacomp.lua

luacomp

Execute luacomp init.lua -xO ../luacomp.lua

NOTE: Do not use a minifier, it breaks argparse!

How-To

Merging Lua source files

-- myfile.lua
local my_lib = {}

function my_lib.hello_world()
  print("Hello, world!")
end

-- main.lua
--#include "my_file.lua"
my_lib.hello_world()

Getting enviroment variables

print("This was compiled in the shell "..$(SHELL))
