yes i was thinking something like that - e.g. disable cloud, json etc. i don't think you can just remove them from the "app" makefile, you'd need some logic in the individual "subdir" makefiles.

ok so i've managed to compile it now using the old tarball, also note you have to comment out this line in xtensa-lx106-elf/lib/gcc/xtensa-lx106-elf/4.8.2/include/sys/errno.h as the simcall-errno.h header file doesn't exist in the entire toolchain:

Code: Select all//#include <xtensa/simcall-errno.h>

"make install" then works and after a reboot i get the line:

Code: Select allNodeLua 1.0.20141219 (With liblua 5.1.5) Copyright (C) 2014 NodeLua.org free mem=32880

and can setup my wifi. but then what? how do we connect to websites or run a server etc? i'm not interested in using the cloud service.

You could continue from step No.5 of the tutorial: http://nodelua.org/doc/tutorial/make-your-first-node/, step No.6 and 7 is also important.
The Node WebIDE is designed for programming with Lua more convenient, it's a different concept with the cloud service, just make a try will give you some different experience

microrl is a tiny readline library that makes editing codes in the terminal more friendly. It supports using left/right array key to move the cursor and up/down key to reload from commands history
however it consumes ~1160 bytes of RAM. I'll find a way to enable/disable parts of NodeLua convenient.
