I have a folder full of lua modules (written in lua) and I want them
embedded in my binary at compile/link time in such a way that the require
system can find them.
Is there a cross-platform way to embed these scripts and make
them accessible to require?
I'm using luajit, but I think this question is generic.
I'm maintaining a project [1] where the Makefile has 2 targets:
"noembed" and "embed". The project itself is Windows-only but it isn't
relevant to its method of embedding Lua files.
I believe the source code is self-explanatory; you can contact me
off-list if it isn't.
