Question : Lua command line compiler (embed in delphi?) or call command lineQuestion:

I use Delphi 2010

Lua command line compiler (embed in delphi?) or call command lineQuestion:
Does anyone know of a free Lua command line compiler that can be distributed with your application for free. I am interested in writing an app in Delphi that takes and passes a file of lua code to the lua compiler to be compiled.

http://www.lua.org/

Please give link to download and instructions on how to pass script file to compile

Also, if way to embed in delphi application, that would be highly appreciated!

Answer : Lua command line compiler (embed in delphi?) or call command lineQuestion:

You seem to have missed your own point.

At http://www.lua.org (which you provided):

"Lua is free software distributed in source code. It can be used for any purpose, including commercial purposes, at absolutely no cost."

So, I don't know, go here: http://www.lua.org/download.html
Then from there it links you to: http://luabinaries.sourceforge.net/
Which also says "Download" and brings you to: http://luabinaries.sourceforge.net/download.html
Which, I'll be damned, brings you to a download of lua5_1_4_Win32_bin.zip

If you look in that you'll find a lua compiler and interpreter all rolled into one.

Now, with the link I gave you it gives you a Delphi wrapper for the lua dll. In that example they go ahead and show you this:

var
  MyLua: TLua;

begin
  MyLua := TMyLua.Create;
  MyLua.DoFile('Helloworld.lua');
  MyLua.Free;
end;

Which, wow, "passes a file of lua code to the lua compiler to be compiled."

Now, since I've pointed you in the right direction with a few google searches and actually reading through the code from the link I sent, I'll move onto my next point.

We don't get paid to help you, we aren't here to give you full working solutions (Unless we want to). We help you find solutions to questions from your problems that you've already looked into (google?).

Far be it from me to not have enough time for you to whip up what you want at any time.
