I'm confused. Why don't you just use the linker to put in the data
that you want? The most portable way to do this is just stuff
everything into a const char[] and compile it. If you want to skip
the octets->.c->.o overhead I suppose you could use objcopy to go
directly from octets->.o, or use a linker script for more control.
If the goal is to avoid having the whole development environment
including headers on the machine performing the append, then ship a
partially linked version of the lua executable with a weak symbol that
will be supplied by the .o containing the octets. The target machine
then just needs objcopy and a linker.
If you can't depend on having a linker on the target machine, yeah,
you're going to have to play around with libelf like lhf says. But
just about everybody has a linker.
Not on Windows.
Right. I suppose you could package up mingw GNU ld into a
point-and-click tool. But the context for this thread was "what can we
do for ELF?"
