LuaFileSystem with CMake Support

Forked from https://lunarmodules.github.io/luafilesystem.

Description

• LuaFileSystem is a Lua library developed to complement the set of functions related to file systems offered by the standard Lua distribution.

• LuaFileSystem offers a portable way to access the underlying directory structure and file attributes.

• LuaFileSystem is free software and uses the same license as Lua 5.x (MIT).

Building and Installing LuaFileSystem

Prerequisites

LuaFileSystem with CMake Support relies on an installation of Lua with CMake Support. The same toolchain which has been used with Lua with CMake Support is required. LuaFileSystem gets all necessary path, header and library information from CMake liblua package data and will be installed automatically into the right directory locations - no hassle with package.path settings anymore.

Notice: Present Makefiles stem from original LuaFileSystem source code and are not used within the context of the CMake-based build infrastructure. Simply ignore them.

Build and Install

Open Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022 and change drive and directory. Download and unpack sources or simply clone this repository:

c:
cd c:\Temp
git clone https://github.com/KritzelKratzel/luafilesystem
cd luafilesystem

CMake strongly encourages out-of-source builds.

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -A <arch>
cmake --build . --config Release
cmake --install . --config Release

Replace <arch> with your desired architecture. Available architectures with selected Visual Studio 17 2022 generator are Win32, x64, ARM and ARM64. LuaFileSystem documentation is available in <lua_install_dir>/share/doc/luafilesystem after install and also at the project website.
