Changing the installation to point to LuaJIT instead of the installed Lua package?

[RichardM]

Can the installation of Lua for windows be modified to point to LuaJIT
instead of the Lua 5.1.4? I have searched but not sure if I can make
sciTE point to a different location for the lua build I want to use.
The reason to do this is that LuaJIT is faster, and the FFI makes
using C functions a breeze.

Thanks,

Hi Richard Sorry but Scite has Lua built in to enable debugging, so you could edit with Scite and then run luajit separately. Andrew

Thanks Andrew. I was thinking that was the case.

I've actually been using LuaJIT with LfW for a while, with few
problems. But there's definitely an issue with the debugger which I
don't understand yet. Definitely part of the roadmap!

I was thinking that since LuaJIT 2.0.0 was just a modified version of
Lua 5.1.4 that it should be possible to rebuild sciTE
with the modified source of LuaJIT replacing the current Lua source.
Is this what you have done Steve?

Nah, I built a compatible version (using VS2005 runtime) and mostly
the rest of LfW just works.

But SciTE freaks when it tries to debug, so the issue is more subtle...
