Building and debugging the Lua interpreter
« on: July 17, 2022, 11:55:09 pm »
Hi,

I would like to build the Lua interpreter with the aim of stepping thru its code and understand how it works.

I made a new project (console application), added all the c and h files and then built, but I get loads of errors such as the following:

||=== Build: Debug in test (compiler: GNU GCC Compiler) ===|
obj/Debug/lua-master/onelua.o||in function `lua_newstate':|
/home/user/Desktop/lua-master/lstate.c|355|multiple definition of `lua_newstate'; obj/Debug/lua-master/lstate.o:/home/user/Desktop/lua-master/lstate.c:355: first defined here|
/usr/bin/ld: obj/Debug/lua-master/onelua.o||in function `lua_setcstacklimit':|

/usr/bin/ld: obj/Debug/lua-master/onelua.o||in function `lua_close':|

Has anyone been successful at building and stepping thru the code of the lua interpreter?
