Re: Windows Mobile/Windows CE port

[Georg Lehner <jorge-lua@...>]

Hello!

Before starting the WinCE port I also skimmed over luace. It has no 
documentation and seemed abandoned. Good to hear it isn't. Now I tried 
it out: lua.exe compiles out of the box; and I also reviewed some of the 
source files:

My port has some differences to luace:

- documentation
- all functions are really implemented (expect signals and environment).
No dummy functions
- WinCE UNICODE is converted to UTF8 (instead of Windows ANSI-Code page)
- luac.exe implemented and working on WinCE
- practically no changes to original lua source code, no wrappers for 
lua.c and
luac.c

Please feel free to fill gaps in the luace implementation with the 
respective parts
of my WinCE port. I will contact you off list for joining efforts on 
luace and/or
wcelibcex respectively.

Best Regards,

Jorge-Le´on
