Hello,

For Lua and the basic Uip stuff: I have a script that builds them from scratch (the tgz's of the sources). That's very handy if you build them often.
I keep everything in svn (even the sources I downloaded). You can browse everyting here: https://dev.mobileread.com/trac/luailiad/browser/trunk
The script I use to build on Linux (Ubuntu) is https://dev.mobileread.com/trac/luai...me_from_tgz.sh. If you want to play with it, you can retrieve everything with just one command:
Code:
svn co https://dev.mobileread.com/svn/luailiad/trunk luailiad
The same error happens with binary packages from luaforge/sourceforge and with the diferent compilations I've tried (including your method)... I presume it's a bug in the loading step with 64bits archs. I'll try to debug it when I have free time.

I think it's not very difficult to port the libraries you mention, but it takes some time to build and test them in a reliable and documented way...

Please proceed with your file manager! try to give it a simple gui. We'll see how far we can get with Lua and Uip...
Have you tried using lua-gtk directly... I might be faster than iup.
I'll try to port it as my first step.

Kind regards,
