How to build?

[colindean]

I'd like to build the framework bundle so that I can use it in another project.

I'd expect to open the project in Xcode, build it, and then have a Lua.framework available somewhere. It appears that only the lua executable is being built.

If I create a scheme for Lua and try to build it, I get some errors:

I'm wondering if this @rpath has something to do with it.

I'm also very much a newb to Cocoa development, so I could be missing something very obvious...

I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't working right now. I'll have to check when I'm at my Mac.

I do actually have pre-built versions on Google Drive https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B20uI21g3kUAM2dCSGxNNm1KbEU&usp=sharing. I should probably add these as releases on GitHub.

[colindean]

Having the releases would probably be sufficient for my needs, but being able to compile would be great.

I just learned about github-release (https://github.com/aktau/github-release) - it might make posting releases automatable. It’s available in Homebrew as of a couple of days ago.

Just to update on this, I added a release for the latest version, https://github.com/derkyjadex/Lua-Framework/releases/tag/v5.2.3.

I managed to build the project fine from my machine with a clean clone, and also on a completely new machine. I notice that the clang command includes the argument -framework Lua, which seems a little odd as it's trying to link to itself. When I build, everything else is the same, apart from that one option. I haven't quite got my head around schemes in Xcode, but I think something in the scheme you created has added Lua.framework as something that Lua.framework needs to link to.

Great. Thanks!
