Lua compiler

Couldn't find one.
Lua.org offers a software, quite confusing, with no executable. Just files.
Any help? ^^

Edit: I found "http://doris.sourceforge.net/lua/weblua.php" but I don't think it's useable offline.. Any help much appreciated ^^

lua has no real compiler i don't know if there can be created exe files. I think not. Its more a scrpting language and is interpreted.

But the script can be precompiled in a Form so it can be executed faster.

I suppose he means lua binaries to execute scripts. With linux you will use a system package or compile the sources. Here are windows binaries.
Note that we use lua 5.0.2

Don't you need a license or something like that?

Darn, Vilarion beat me to posting the windows binaries link ^^

Anyhoo, for anyone who's thinking about learning lua to help out the dev team and are too afraid to get discouraged, give it a try, it's rather easy.

Here's the tutorial I'm reading up on to now, give it a try: http://lua-users.org/wiki/TutorialDirectory

You do not need a licence, it is open source. Help is always welcome and appreciated.

Lua Edit 2.5

This programm you can write, compile and execute Lua Scripts. Very nice for testing.
