windows - Creating standalone Lua executables

Question

Is there an easy way to create standalone .exe files from Lua scripts? Basically this would involve linking the Lua interpreter and the scripts.

I believe it is possible (PLT Scheme allows the creation of standalone executables in the same way), but how, exactly?

Answer 1

Check out for srlua. It does what you need.

It's from one of the Lua authors. On this address there is also pre-compiled Windows binaries, so that would be even easier for you I think.
