lux-cli-dist-help-bin(1)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, this is lux-cli-dist-help-bin(1) from the General Commands Manual — yes, the bin page is here to spill the tea. ☕💅 It compiles a Lux project, including its dependencies, into a single binary that runs on systems that do not have Lua installed. ✨

Important caveat time: projects with native Lua modules are not single binaries: the modules are copied as shared libraries next to the output binary, and must be shipped alongside it. No cap. 🫶

As with flat-archive, dependency conflicts are not supported/handled. 💀

The entrypoint is specified via the lux.toml's [run] field, e.g.:

[run]
args = ["src/main.lua"]

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lux-cli dist help bin

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Compile a Lux project, including its dependencies, into a single binary that runs on systems that do not have Lua installed. That's the whole assignment, and it ate. 🔥 periodt.

Projects with native Lua modules are not single binaries: the modules are copied as shared libraries next to the output binary, and must be shipped alongside it. Keep that in mind, bestie — it's giving “ship the shared libs too” energy. 🦋

As with flat-archive, dependency conflicts are not supported/handled. This is a real caveat, not me being dramatic. 🙈

The entrypoint is specified via the lux.toml's [run] field, e.g.:

[run]
args = ["src/main.lua"]

byeee 💖 footer sign-off: source/version vibe is bin, page name is lux-cli-dist-help-bin(1), and the date slot is blank in this copy — we out 💅🎀
