lua-sysfs - Lua bindings for libsysfs

Christian Wiese [email protected]

❗ WARNING The Lua bindings for libsysfs provided here are in a very early stage of development, thus do not use them in a production environment!

Build Dependencies

Besides having a working compiler toolchain available you will need:

• cmake
• libsysfs

Installing

Install from git

Prepare a dedicated build directory

mkdir build
cd build

Generate Makefiles and related build infrastructure

cmake ../

Alternatively you can specify the path where to install the module

cmake ../ -DINSTALL_CMOD=/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1

Compile the module

make

Install the module

sudo make install

Install using lua-rocks

curl -O "https://github.com/morfoh/lua-sysfs/raw/master/lua-sysfs-scm-0.rockspec"
luarocks install lua-sysfs-scm-0.rockspec

Development

Re-generating the bindings

By default CMake will use the pre-generated bindings that are include in the project.

To be able to re-generate the bindings, you will need to install LuaNativeObjects and set the CMake variable USE_PRE_GENERATED_BINDINGS to FALSE.

cmake ../ -DUSE_PRE_GENERATED_BINDINGS=FALSE

Mandantory for re-generating Lua bindings from *.nobj.lua files:

• LuaNativeObjects, this is the bindings generator used to convert the *.nobj.lua files into a native Lua module.

Optional for re-generating documentation

• luadoc

To not re-generate documentation by luadocs when re-generating the bindings you have to to set the CMake variable GENERATE_LUADOCS to FALSE.

cmake ../ -DUSE_PRE_GENERATED_BINDINGS=FALSE -DGENERATE_LUADOCS=FALSE
