If you're using MS Visual Studio 6.0, you might be interested in what i did
for this:
I've set up a Tool (and assigned it to a key) in Visual Studio to do Lua
syntax checking.
The script also shows all global variables that are created in a file, which
makes it easier to find temporary variables that are not defined as "local"
yet.

Find attached my lua (4.0) script that does the dirty work of mapping
luac-errors to an output that Visual Studio can understand.

Cheers,
Peter
