How To Install lutok on Fedora 34

lutok is Lightweight C++ API library for Lua Lightweight C++ API library for Lua

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install lutok on Fedora 34.

What is `lutok`

Lutok provides thin C++ wrappers around the Lua C API to ease the interaction between C++ and Lua. These wrappers make intensive use of RAII to prevent resource leakage, expose C++-friendly data types, report errors by means of exceptions and ensure that the Lua stack is always left untouched in the face of errors. The library also provides a small subset of miscellaneous utility functions built on top of the wrappers. Lutok focuses on providing a clean and safe C++ interface; the drawback is that it is not suitable for performance-critical environments. In order to implement error-safe C++ wrappers on top of a Lua C binary library, Lutok adds several layers or abstraction and error checking that go against the original spirit of the Lua C API and thus degrade performance. lutok 0.4 17.fc34 x86_64 29 k lutok-0.4-17.fc34.src.rpm fedora Lightweight C++ API library for Lua http BSD Lutok provides thin C++ wrappers around the Lua C API to ease the interaction between C++ and Lua.
