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)
