How to compile Lua 5.3.0 as a Mac OS X dynamic library
This is a tutorial on how to compile Lua 5.3.0 as a Mac OS X universal fat dynamic library (liblua.dylib).
1. download and build Lua as stated in the Lua FAQ but as a universal binary:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
curl -R -O http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.3.0.tar.gz tar zxf lua-5.3.0.tar.gz cd lua-5.3.0 make macosx test MYCFLAGS="-arch x86_64 -arch i386" |
2. add a new dynamic build rule to the src/makefile and build the library with
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
echo 'liblua5.3.0.dylib: $(CORE_O) $(LIB_O)' >> src/makefile echo -e '\t$(CC) -dynamiclib -o $@ $^ $(LIBS) -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -compatibility_version 5.3.0 -current_version 5.3.0 -install_name @rpath/$@' >> src/makefile make -C src liblua5.3.0.dylib |
See Frameworks and Binding for information about the install_name.
You’re done! You should now have a lua interpreter, a luac compiler and a liblua5.3.0.dylib.

I am following this for Lua version 5.0 (lua5_0_3_Sources.tar.gz), and everything works wonderfully until the very last step. I have renamed and double checked all references to liblua5.3.0 to liblua50 and version 5.0.3, but when I do ‘make -C src liblua50.dylib’ I get the following output:
cc -dynamiclib -o liblua50.dylib -arch i386 -arch x86_64 -compatibility_version 5.0.3 -current_version 5.0.3 -install_name @rpath/liblua50.dylib
clang: error: no input files
make: *** [liblua50.dylib] Error 1
I’m pretty new to this whole thing, and I’m not terribly sure what I’m doing wrong. If you could give a novice a hand I would be very grateful 🙂
