Visual Studio 2017 Project and WIX Installers for the WinLua and Distribution

This repository contains the build solution files for WinLua. The Visual Studio directory contains the files for WinLua Release 1. That is, Lua 5.1 and Lua 5.3 including installers. Release 2 contains a new branch of code that has a modified interpreter (lua.exe) that loads Lua 5.4 by default, or lua 5.1 if the -51 flag is specified. Release 2 also contains an ISWix project files for building an installer for WinLua R2, LibreSSL and JamPlus. WinLua R2 works, the installers don't.

Currently our version of lua in the Release2 branch is divergent from the standard Lua and the changes are unmarked. I am working to bring clarity to this.

If you are looking for the latest version of Lua to run on Windows 10, please see our bin repository

The OpenSSL toolkit stays under a dual license, i.e. both the conditions of the OpenSSL License and the original SSLeay license apply to the toolkit. See below for the actual license texts. Actually both licenses are BSD-style Open Source licenses. In case of any license issues related to OpenSSL please contact openssl-core@openssl.org.
