I opened a command prompt on my Windows PC, downloaded lua source and 
built it according to the "detailed instructions".  All told, it took 
about a minute, including reading the instructions.  "make" on Windows 
works fine.

So, how did you do it? I assume this is proper Windows and not WSL.

On the downloaded source bundle from Github, there were no such 
instructions.

If I go to the 'detailed instructions', there I managed to derive a list 
of .c files, which I put into a text file called 'fred'.

Then I can build Lua using any of:

    bcc @fred -old
    tcc @fred
    gcc @fred -olua -O3

So the build system is - a list of 33 files (which I compiled into one 
.exe; Lua prefers to split it into .exe and .dll).

No make file needed in this case at all. The supplied makefile was 25 
times bigger than the simple list.

However, the point I already made was that I /wanted/ to 'make' to see 
if I could get through it without errors.

You've been pointed to the instructions more than once in this
thread.

And I've twice said I've found them. I also said how I eventually 
managed to build that program (hint: it didn't involve a makefile).

But what those other commentators have not said is how they would build 
it or have built it. With a working Windows makefile or not? I still 
don't know.

I do know that all 5 projects I mentioned could be trivially built with 
the simplest script. Yet all through the other thread everybody was 
pushing make and makefiles.

But then you always make these drive-past comments in claiming something 
that isn't true, or suggesting I'm lying about something, or saying my 
in-house languages were hobby projects, and never back them up or admit 
you were wrong.

It seems like a personal campaign against me.

So, in that case: fuck you.

Apparently not.

I told you how /I/ built it on Windows - by following the instructions, 
using "make" on Windows.  And now in another post I've given even more 
details, which I hope will answer all your questions.

> With a working Windows makefile or not? I still

You would have known if you'd read my post yesterday in which I said 
that is /exactly/ what I did.

Probably all projects /could/ be built with scripts - though for many 
projects, it would not be trivial.  But that does not make scripts the 
best choice for building them.  And such scripts are certainly not the 
best choice when developing projects (as distinct from distributing 
complete ready-to-use projects, which is a very different thing).

When you are saying one thing, and everyone else is saying something 
different, does it ever occur to you that perhaps /you/ are the one that 
is in the wrong?

This is not a "campaign against you".  These threads are (for me, at 
least), an attempt to educate you and help you at least appreciate why 
other people use tools like make and gcc, even if /you/ don't like them. 
  And they are also to counter misinformation and confusion that you 
post - other people might read your posts and think they are accurate or 
represent reality for C development.

Your post yesterday said this:

built it according to the "detailed instructions".  All told, it took 
about a minute, including reading the instructions.  "make" on Windows 
works fine.

You didn't say how you invoked it. Today you said it was "make mingw". 
(But you also have a funny idea of what 'proper Windows' is. For me it 
is not using CYGWIN, MSYS2 or WSL.)

For me it didn't work. Please post the makefile you used; it should only 
be 210 lines. If isn't 210 lines, then that can explain some things.

I've used simple lists of source files for developing software for my 
whole career.

But then, I've always taken care of everything to do with development, 
and written all the software which I use at the source code level.

So I've been able to ensure the process was always usable, simple, and 
fast. Even using floppies.

When I complain about people deifying C, you say but of course other 
people can see its shortcomings.

But 'make' really is perfect? I find it totally and utterly unusable. 
And yes I have tried to read the 240-page manual, I gave up on page 10.

And as explained, I have tried to use other people's makefiles, and 
found them prone to failures. But since they are so impenetrable, I 
can't fix them.

As a language designer it just offended me. That must be a better way to 
do what it does, if it that is even necessary.

People will read YOUR posts and get the idea that if THEY find 'make' 
hard going, then it must be their fault for being too thick or not 
having the right aptitude.

Since it can't possibly be because make is a terrible language.

And YES, simple solutions can work, the KISS principle.

I gave more details today, yes - but yesterday I had already said I used 
"make".

What a truly bizarre "No true Scotsman" argument!  Would you also say 
that it is impossible to write documents on "proper Windows" because 
Windows doesn't come with a word processor?

I downloaded the tarball referenced (lua-5.4.6.tar.gz).  There is a 
Makefile in the main directory, of 106 lines, and a Makefile in the src 
directory of 225 lines.

Did you not even /try/ to follow the instructions before complaining 
that nothing worked for you?

No one thinks C is perfect.

No one thinks "make" is perfect.

> I find it totally and utterly unusable. 

That's just you.  Plenty of people find it entirely usable, and 
extremely useful.  Other people find it hard to use, or prefer other tools.

You are not unique in disliking "make", or not finding it useful.  But I 
think you /are/ unique in how strongly you are convinced that you, 
personally, are the only one who understands how terrible and useless 
tools such as "make", "gcc", and the C language are, and how everyone 
else who believes they have been using these tools for nearly 50 years 
is just imagining that they work.

What is bizarre is thinking WSL (ie. Ubuntu) is proper Windows. I can't 
build under WSL and send the binary to somebody running Windows. Not 
unless they also run it under their Ubuntu.

So why even bother with Windows?

MSYS2, I've no idea what I'll end up with there. Either way, none of 
these extra layers is necessary.

Compiling C under pure Windows is not hard!

My recent post goes into this in more detail. But, I've believe the ZIP 
files from the Github Lua repository are incorrect. This applies to:

* The displayed file hierarchy

* The ZIP from Download ZIP

* The ZIPs (the latest at least) from Releases.

They don't match the contents of the .tar.gz versions. I think this the 
first directory layer is missing, so it only has the inner makefile, not 
the outer makefile of 106 lines.

I tried building only via those ZIPs.

So, whose fault is that?

I usually avoid .tar.gz files since they are a pig to extract on 
Windows. It involves using 7-Zip, but is still a trial-and-error process.

Oh is it back? I remember 'tar' from long ago, but it only did .tar 
files iirc.

But your link is dated 2023, it seems to be recent.

.tar.gz and like files I think were supposed to be handled directly by 
Windows, but that never worked. I had to use a package called 7-Zip, and 
it was dire.

You clicked Extract, and it did half the job; you had a .tar file. You 
clicked extract on that, and nothing happened. Eventually it would deign 
to extract files, but it was pot-luck where they would end up, or how 
deeply nested, even if you gave a path.

It was confusing also because you could just click and go inside the 
archive, but I think you'd need to be at the right location for Extract 
to work.

So thanks.

Right, so you'll condemn it from the get-go despite having no idea about 
it?  That's a great attitude.

Apparently they are.  Certainly I had no problems and built Lua in under 
a minute (including downloading and reading the instructions), resulting 
in an executable that will work on any Windows system.  You, who do not 
have msys2 or anything else that even hints of coming from the *nix 
world, have had all sorts of trouble.

The build instructions and the releases are from lua.org, not github. 
That's for development work (which is most likely targeting Linux).

Yours - you did not read the build instructions, but ploughed on with 
your own guesswork and got into trouble.

Is there /nothing/ in this world that you don't find hard?  How can you 
possibly have trouble with a simple compressed archive?  It's not as if 
it contains filenames that Windows can't handle.

IIRC, Windows filesystems are case insensitive.  Would not that preclude
successfully unpacking a tarball which contains two filenames which differ
only in case?

Yes, true, but irrelevant.

I believe David is asserting that the lua tarball (which *is* the thing we
are discussing) does not have any such issues.

Whether that is actually true or not, I have no idea.  Nor do I care.

Depends on whether "successfully" is viewed from the perspective of
the person trying to root your system, as in this git(hub) bug from
nearly a decade ago:

Yes - but the tarball in question does not have such files.

(NTFS supports having files whose names differ only in case, because it 
was made to support POSIX semantics, from early plans for WinNT to be 
more POSIX-like.  It is possible to create filenames on an NTFS drive 
that normal Windows programs can't handle, causing much fun as a prank.)

The releases page for Github Lua, for version 5.4.6, has these two assets:

  * Source code:  v5.4.6.zip

  * Source code:  v5.4.6.tar.gz

TELL me where in the build instructions it says that the contents of 
these two files are incompatible.

THEN then tell me why they are incompatible, and what the point is of 
the .zip version since it has a missing outer makefile.

NOW tell me why on earth someone would know, or even guess, that the 
source bundles contained in those files are anything other than the same 
data, packaged in different types of containers.

This is from a Github page about downloading source code archives:

"(4) To download the source code, click  Source code (zip) or  Source 
code (tar.gz)."

(https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/working-with-files/using-files/downloading-source-code-archives)

Notice it says 'zip' OR 'tar.gz'. Presumably it shouldn't matter which.

------------------------------------------------

You know, one thing is going 100% certain in this thread: you are never 
for one minute going to admit that I'm right in there being something 
wrong with those Github ZIPs.

You didn't see the problem because you either obtained the source bundle 
elsewhere, or would have used only the .tar.gz version.

So, fuck you as well as Scott. This clearly is a personal vendetta.

You hate me so much that whenever I find a problem anywhere, it 
automatically has to be my fault, even when it isn't!

And you're so intent on proving me wrong, that you even delude yourself 
that doing this:

    curl -R -O http://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.4.6.tar.gz
    tar zxf lua-5.4.6.tar.gz
    cd lua-5.4.6
    make all test

is 'installing it on Windows'. And when challenged, you say that doing 
it under MSYS2 is also 'installing it on Windows'.

You know, I don't believe you actually know how to do this under plain 
Windows! Otherwise you would have done so; you must know that's what I use.)

This is what /I/ achieved in trying to build this project:

* I managed it without make

* I managed it in plain Windows

* I managed it even from the faulty Github ZIP files with the missing 
outer layer

* I /discovered/ there was a missing outer layer (you're welcome)

* I found out the lua.org's Readme should be overhauled as the Windows 
build info is unclear (you of course couldn't give a cuss about that, so 
long as you can prove me wrong about the info being in there, if you 
joined enough dots)

So, what have /you/ achieved?

It doesn't, because their contents are identical.  I just checked.

They differ from the lua-5.4.6.tar.gz file on the lua.org website.

https://github.com/lua/lua/archive/refs/tags/v5.4.6.zip
https://github.com/lua/lua/archive/refs/tags/v5.4.6.tar.gz
https://www.lua.org/ftp/lua-5.4.6.tar.gz

The release files on github.com are copies of the git repo.  The
lua-5.4.6.tar.gz was *generated* from the files in the git repo.
It's created by the Lua maintainers; I don't know how.

The tarball on the lua.org web site is the one you should use to build
Lua from source.  (If you want to work on developing Lua itself, you
should clone the repo.  I'm not convinced that the GitHub release files
are particularly useful.)

That's exactly what they are, but they differ from the tar.gz file from
lua.org.

People who want to build Lua from source (without necessarily wanting to
work on the Lua implementation) should build from the .tar.gz file from
lua.org.

Dude, calm down.  Scott likely wasn't aware of the GitHub release files.
The presence of those files is genuinely confusing, but that's not
Scott's fault.

Look, I have no idea if these are the same or different.  I don't know, 
and don't care.  The only reason I was at the lua website at all was 
because /you/ picked it as something that "proves" that make never works 
on Windows.  I went to the lua website, followed the instructions on how 
to build lua on Windows, and it worked - using "make".  /You/ did not 
not follow the instructions, and you got in trouble.  No doubt you'd 
have got in trouble even if you did follow the instructions, because you 
are always so determined to have everything fail.

I am not going to look at the zip files, or compare them, and I am 
certainly not going to spend any more effort trying to help you figure 
out what you did wrong.

I don't hate you at all - if I did, then I would not have been wasting 
so much time trying to help you.

It /is/ installing it on Windows.

I have msys2 installed.  On Windows.  I used tools from that (including 
make) to build Lua.  On Windows.  It resulted in Windows exe files for 
Lua.  They are on my Windows machine.  I can now run lua on Windows. 
(This is Windows 7, with no WSL in sight, no virtual machines, or 
anything like that.)  I can copy these exe files to another windows 
machine, and they work there too.  How is that /not/ "installing it on 
windows" ?  What is your criteria here - if it works for someone else, 
then they must naturally have been cheating in some way, because it 
could not possibly be that /you/ have the problem?

By /my/ ruling, any system with "bcc" or "tcc" is not plain Windows. 
Therefore you failed.

Does that sound familiar?  Any more goalposts you want to shuffle around 
and move to completely different pitches in another feeble attempt to 
look less pathetic?

I did exactly what you claimed was impossible - used "make" to build Lua 
on windows.
