I have some source code written in lua. I could compile it with luajit and could create a static library to link with nginx as explained in this post. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11317269/how-to-compile-lua-scripts-into-a-single-executable-while-still-gaining-the-fas I am wondering if there is something similar which I can do to create a shared library out of some lua files, as I don't want to compile nginx again and again. Thanks and Regards Puneet
