I have compiled LuaJIT 2.0.0 beta11 for Windows and packaged [1] it with two of my modules (lua-zmq [2] + lua-llthreads [3]). It contains both 32bit & 64bit builds (using the Windows 7.1 SDK) and has been tested on Windows XP Home & Windows 7. There are some example scripts that showcase lua-zmq & lua-llthread in the luajit-2\examples folder. Try out the thread_*.lua examples. What is lua-zmq? ------------------------- Lua bindings to the zeromq [4] message passing library. Zeromq make it easy to write message passing apps that can scale from single thread to multi- threaded to multi-hosts. What is lua-llthreads? ------------------------------- lua-llthreads is a lightweight threads library for Lua (using pthreads or WIN32 threads). The library provides the minimal interface needed to spawn child threads in separate Lua states (share nothing design). When combined with lua-zmq it is very easy to create multi-thread Lua apps. 1. https://github.com/downloads/Neopallium/lua- zmq/luajit2.0_beta11_zmq2.2_llthreads.zip 2. https://github.com/Neopallium/lua-zmq 3. https://github.com/Neopallium/lua-llthreads 4. http://www.zeromq.org/ -- Robert G.
