I know it can be a dumb question , but how i can setup and use squish to compile my lua scripts. I'm tired searching google and i can't find anything to explain me how to use

Someone can point me on right direction

  • I use lua 5.1 on windows OS

Thank you

  • There's a README on [squish's homepage](http://matthewwild.co.uk/projects/squish/home). – siffiejoe Apr 30 '17 at 13:39
  • thank you But my doubt remain. They say "just run make"but this is a command line? and if so, how i execute ? lua squish_floder make ? – Bruno Apr 30 '17 at 13:53
  • No, there's a standard (Unix) Makefile in the archive. I'll try to translate the commands to Windows in an answer below ... – siffiejoe Apr 30 '17 at 14:40

First download and unpack the archive containing Squish's code. Alternatively, you may clone the repository. The change into the directory containing the squish.lua file. You will also need a Lua 5.1 executable (which I'll assume is called lua51.exe in the commands below).

The Unix Makefile in the archive contains roughly the following commands (translated to Windows) to build the squish tool:

  • bootstrap squish tool (without gzip compression or debug support for now)

    lua51.exe squish.lua -q --with-minify --with-uglify --with-compile --with-virtual-io

  • prepare gzip compression modules

    lua51.exe squish -q gzip

  • prepare debug support

    lua51.exe squish -q debug

  • build final tool (with gzip compression and debug support)

    lua51.exe squish -q --with-minify --with-uglify --with-compile --with-virtual-io --with-gzip --with-debug

The result is a Lua script squish (without the .lua extension) in the current directory. To use it you have to write a squishy file for your project and execute a command line similar to the last one above in the directory containing your squishy file.

  • i'm really thankful, just for the record this is what i have done and he worked i copy the lua.exe (in my case is not lua51).exe to the squish folder and on CMD i typed full_path_squish + your last line "lua.exe squish -q ....." – Bruno Apr 30 '17 at 16:55
