How do I Make an executable Lua script using srlua?

Question

My main goal is to either make my lua file into executable or make it into a bite code. preferably both of them. I am trying srlua,but in readme file it tells me to do:

"For Windows, you need to create srlua.exe and glue.exe first. Then for each Lua program that you want to turn into a stand-alone program, do glue srlua.exe prog.lua prog.exe Of course, you can use any name instead of prog.exe."

and when I am trying to compile it using codebluck to get(srlua.exe),I get this : enter image description here

and what dose it mean by this? glue srlua.exe prog.lua prog.exe where should I type that it. Thanks in advance.

Where have you installed Lua? In particular, where are its header files? — lhf

The issue come from the compiler not being able to find the Lua headers as lhf hinted. These should be set either in the project settings or put next to the srlua.c file. The particular error you highlighted in the image is caused by the fact that the compiler can't find the lua_State struct (again - because the headers that define it are nowhere to be found). — mtsvetkov

Type it into your shell. Once you have the binary of srlua, that takes "prog.lua" and glues it to "srlua.exe" making "prog.exe". Of course, you need glue as well. You can get an srlua binary and a glue binary for Lua 5.1 here. http://www.tecgraf.puc-rio.br/~lhf/ftp/lua/#srlua
