Known Issues

  • On Windows some tests crash when using Ravi with JIT enabled; I believe this is related to handling of longjmp in Win64 which doesn't play well with JITed code.

Installation

In this release pre-built binaries are provided for Windows 64-bit. (Please note that the Windows binaries are from 0.5 release).

The binaries were built using Visual Studio 2017. You will need to download and install the
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2017 as this is not included.

Please unzip and install the package under c:/Software, so that after installation the path
will be c:/Software/lua53 or c:/Software/ravi. Any other location may cause problems as you will need to amend the supplied scripts.

You can set the Lua environment by invoking inside a command prompt:

For Lua:

c:\Software\lua53\bin\luaenv.bat

For Ravi:

c:\Software\ravi\bin\ravienv.bat

Build instructions for Linux and Mac OSX

Please report any issues you find.
