Hello,
as I'm firstly to explore the development process: Simply, I need to build some Lua extensions (DLLs; C/C++ source → .dll) (e.g. Excel workbooks (.xls) reader) to work with ConTeXt (works with ConTeXt v. 2021.12.30 (Lua 5.3) well so far), MS VisualStudio as compiler. Normally - so far - there is something like this in my code:
#include "d:/Lukas/Cpp/Lua/53/include/lua.hpp" #pragma comment(lib, "d:/Lukas/Lua/53.x32/lua53.lib")
Where do I find the appropriate lua.hpp and lua55.lib (at least to try) to build the Lua module to work with the latest ConTeXt? (E.g. web links would be fine as I don't get oriented well in the TeX / LuaMetatTeX / ConTeXt "space"...)
you can try https://github.com/lua/lua but you're on your own here ... as it's not officially supported, just the development repository (ok for testing etc) (btw, i'd just handle the xls with the xml or csv parsers, al least that always worked for me) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
