I have been experimenting with luac from eLua.
Steps:
- Install a copy of lua for your computer (used for building luac). Avaliable from http://www.lua.org/download.html
- Get the eLua source from http://www.eluaproject.net/get-started/downloads
- From the eLua spirce directory, build the luac cross-compliler executable with:
This generates an executable called luac-cross.
- to compile a script for nodemcu:
- upload the myscript.lcbinary file to nodemcu (nodemcu-uploader.py works with binary files - see https://github.com/kmpm/nodemcu-uploader)
- load the script with
Note: if you have a myscript.lua and a myscript.lc, the uncompiled one seems to take precedence)
Simple compiled scripts work, but larger ones seem to cause restarts when they are loaded. When it successful, compiling saves a noticeable amount of heap space.
