MKLua
A small tool for generating a C file that bundles a lua library. This can either be used to bundle a lua library as a single .so file, or bundle a lua application into an executable. NOTE: sine lua uses .so files for native code, unfortunately, it would be prohibitively complex to rebuild all .so modules into static libraries. For this express purpose, self-contained executables are not yet possible.
Output C file
This tool will output a single C file, which contains luaopen_xxx functions for each entry you specify. If those entries depend on anything, they will be included in the executable, but not exposed. Aditionally, if --main is specified, a boilerplate int main function will be generated, which will call the export of the first entry.
Output makefile
In this mode (--makefile), the tool will output a boilerplate makefile, which will use mklua to emit a C file, and then will compile it to a binary. This Makefile works out of the box (you only need to specify the output filename). However, feel free to modify the file.
Output dependencies and libraries
This tool can also be used to output all the files that the entries depend on. This is useful for makefile scripts, in order to detect changes. --deps prints all the files and --libs prints only the files found from cpath
