||
|
|
<li> New hook: <tt>parser_hook</tt>, allows modifications to the behavior of the main parser.
|
||
|
|
<li> Objects can be private (or protected). This doesn't affect the normal usage (everything is public by default), but it's useful to declare types that don't export any code, but serve
|
||
|
|
as 'support' for other declarations.
|

|
|
<li> Misc bugfixes.

|
||
|
|
<li> Added a command line flag -D, to disable automatic generation of destructors for all classes with constructors (for compatibility with tolua5)

|
<li> Added utility function "tolua.inherit", to allow a lua table to "inherit" from an instance of a C/C++ class

|

|
||
|
|
<li> Fixed other minor bugs.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li> Removed the link to win32 binaries, since I aparently don't know what the hell I'm doing with a microsoft compiler ;-)</li>

<h3>Instalation</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
tolua++ uses <a href="http://www.scons.org">SCons</a> to build. SCons is based on
|
||
|
|
python, you can get a stand-alone version on <a href="http://www.scons.org">
|
||
|
|
their website</a>. After you have SCons, follow this simple instructions:
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> Type '<b>scons all</b>' to compile.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li> Type '<b>scons install</b>'. The default install prefix is /usr/local, so if you are
|
||
|
|
on a POSIX system, it should work. On other systems, you can change it with the
|
||
|
|
'<b>prefix</b>' option on command line.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<b>scons prefix=/usr install</b>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<i>or on windows</i>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<b>scons "prefix=c:\Program Files\Visual C" install</b>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use <b>scons -h</b> to see a list of available command line options.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The files you need (in case you want to do a <b>manual install</b>) are:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> bin/tolua++[.exe] - the main binary
|
||
|
|
<li> include/tolua++.h - the header file
|
||
|
|
<li> lib/libtolua++.a <i>or</i> lib/tolua++.lib - the library
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<li> See INSTALL for instructions on how to install without SCons. There are also instructions on how
|
||
|
|
to build without scons at the <a href="http://lua-users.org/wiki/CompilingToluappWithoutScons">lua-users wiki</a>
|

|
(if you know the author of this, <a href="mailto:tolua@codenix.com">contact me</a>)</li>
