LuaInterface and 64Bit

Question

Ok i'm currently using LuaScript v5.1 in a Game engine i'm using. and the handy LuaInterface that comes along with it. i've tested it on a range of systems running a range of OS's. LuaInterface seems to fail on 64bit Operating Systems. Could anyone point me to a 64bit Compiled LuaInterface.dll, or is there any alternative to the LuaInterface that can be used, because LuaInterface is extremely useful and i dont think i would be able to write a more extensive interface by myself using lua51. (I'm not that good, sadly)

Any help or links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks alot guys!

Answer 1

You can check out the LuaInterface source code from the Subversion repository hosted on Google Code . It contains Visual Studio project files for building it yourself. Welcome to the world of open-source software!

Answer 2

You can use . 。 I uses KopiLua, which is written entirely in C# and provides all the well-known interfaces like LuaInterfaces. It even implements the same namespaces as LuaInterface, so you don't have to change anything except your references!

I just migrated my project from LuaInterface to KopiLuaInterface in under 10 minutes without changing a single line of code!

You can find KopiLuaInterface here: https://github.com/gfoot/kopiluainterface/releases

Just remove your LuaInterface and lua51 DLL files from your project and add the 3 DLLs from the KopiLuaInterface release, update your references and you're done.

I just found some links that might help with your problem.

This shows how to modify compiled assemblies to force them to run 32 bit:
