This page aims to list the Lua VMs which works with Lua Development Tools (LDT).
(feel free to complete with your tests)
VM | Debugger Compatibility | Execution Environment | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Name-Version | Based on | Officially supported | Transport Layer | Comments | Execution environment is only used to enable some user assistance (autocompletion, documentation) for a given VM |
Lua-5.1 | Lua-5.1 | Since LDT 0.1. | LuaSocket 2.0 needed. | Officially available since 0.8, deliver with LDT since 0.9. | |
Jnlua-0.9 | Lua-5.1 | Since LDT 0.9. | Based on Java Socket. | Interpreter based on Jnlua 0.9 delivered with LDT since 0.9. | Officially available since 0.8 (use Lua 5.1 one), deliver with LDT since 0.9. |
Mihini-0.8 | Lua-5.1 | Coming soon. | LuaSocket deliver with Mihini. | Coming soon. | |
Lua-5.2 | Lua-5.2 | In Progress. | LuaSocket 2.1 needed (not released yet). | Could partially work with the 0.9. | Not available for now (we are looking for community help). |
Jnlua-1.0 | Lua-5.2 | Should work, not tested. | Need a transport layer, perhaps works with LuaSocket 2.1. | Could be nice to delivered it with LDT. | (see Lua 5.2) |
LuaJIT-2.0 | Lua-5.1 | In Progress. | Should work with LuaSocket 2.0 patched (here the patches to apply) or with LuaSocket 2.1 (not released yet). | Should work partially with a nightly build. | Lua 5.1 Execution environment could be used. |
wxLua | Lua-5.1 | Not officially supported, but should work. | LuaSocket 2.0 needed. | Tested v2.8.10 on windows with LuaSocket 2.0 : works out of the box. | We don't know about any. Perhaps it could be partially generated from doxygen documentation (we are looking for community help).
Lua 5.1 execution environement could be used waiting for better. |
MOAI | Lua-5.1 | Not officially supported. | Not tested. | ||
Gideros | Lua-5.1 | Not officially supported. | Not tested. | ||
Corona | Lua-5.1 | Not officially supported. | Not tested. | We don't know about any (we are looking for community help).
Lua 5.1 execution environement could be used waiting for better. | |
