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"...)
Best,
Lukas
