Hi LuaRocks community, I am looking at creating a Windows MSI installer for a click-and-go PUC-Lua package and I wanted to include LuaRocks. I looked at the installer (wonderful work by the way) and it seems to do some registry stuffs but LuaRocks was NOT in the list of installed software on the computer (i.e. Add Remove Programs).
My first question: Is the install.bat for Windows installation supposed to register the application with the system? If the answer is no then it looks like I will need to create a full MSI package for LuaRocks. Because I will be installing Lua myself, many of the checks are redundant because I know the answers ahead of time. So if "Answer 1" was NO, it looks like I will need to: - Copy the correct files to the correct locations (including tools) and create the rockspec folders. This can be gleaned from the install.bat file at the end I think? - Create the registry entries as per the luarocks.reg.template. - Modify and install a config file that includes paths and interpreter information. - Update the system path variables. Thanks in advance, Russ p.s. By the way, I found a XCOPY on line 867 of the install.bat file. It failed on my work computer which is Windows 8.1. It seems all the other calls are COPY. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Luarocks-developers mailing list Luarocks-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/luarocks-developers
