PUC-Lua Installer v1.1 (MinGW Build)

This project is an open source Windows installer for 32 Lua. The install scripts are licensed under the FreeBSD license, Lua is license under the MIT license. Copyright notice must be maintained if the install scripts are used under derivative works.

Requirements: Microsoft .Net 3.5.1 (In Windows 8+ this must be "turned on" in Windows Features (Windows Key + type "Turn Windows Features" and the system will find it). Wix Toolset 3.11 - http://wixtoolset.org/releases/

Optionally: SharpDevelop 5.x - http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Download/Default.aspx#SharpDevelop5x - Microsoft .Net 4.5 - vcredist OR Visual Studio 2008+ (Not Tested) OR MonoDevelop (Not Tested)

Note: If you are using the optional IDEs noted above, your version of the framework can be higher. For more information see: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/23a7dc5d-c337-4eed-8af4-c016def5516e/location-of-msbuildexe?forum=msbuild

First, clone this repo. I have git installed to run from powershell:

mkdir ~/git
cd ~/git
git clone https://github.com/russellhaley/puc-lua-installer

To build the MSI, there are two main steps: Download the target items, and execute the commands.

1. Download and extract the binaries and the sources. From Archives:

JoeDFs Binaries (replacing 5.3.4 with the desired version number): https://github.com/joedf/LuaBuilds/tree/gh-pages/PrivateBuild/builds/lua-5.3.4/x86

Lua Sources: https://www.lua.org/ftp/ You will need 7-Zip to extract the archive.

Note: Alternatively, you could clone joedf/LuaBuilds and it gives you access to all the binaries and all the sources in one place. The over head is a bit extreme but I'm a lazy sod. That's why I created an installer ;)

2. Run the following commands in powershell (Note that # is a comment in powershell, '`' backtick is a line continuation):

#1 Navigate to the dir and source the powershell script. This loads the script for execution.
cd C:\Users\russh\git\PUC-Lua-Installer\Base-Files
. .\pli-tools.ps1

#2 Execute the Create-LuaInstaller funtion loaded by the script. 
Create-LuaInstaller -version "5.3.4" `
-sourceLocation "C:\Users\russh\Downloads\lua-sources\src\" `
-bin32Location  "C:\Users\russh\Downloads\lua-5.3.4\src\bin\" `
-outDir $PWD..\Puc-Lua32 

#3 Move to the main install builder and execute MS Build, which assembles the package.
#  On a 32 bit machine use C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v3.5\MSBuild.exe
cd ..\"PUC-Lua 32"
C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework64\v3.5\MSBuild.exe 

Adjusting version, sourceLocation and bin32Location to suite your downloads. You will recieve one warning; two if using the 32 bit build tools. Neither seemingly affect the output.

The output will be under ...\PUC-Lua-Installer\PUC-Lua 32\bin

Happy Installing!
