LoveJIT

[bartbes]

Yes, we are limited to what people can obtain it.
There are several other things to be considered, all related to its lack of a stable (thus long-lasting) release.

In any case, there might be some jit builds provided, but for the time being we will only support non-jit builds. Meaning that all bug reports etc have to pertain to a non-jit build. (Note that we have for quite some time made it possible to build a jit variant of love.)

Will LöveJIT be a part of official LÖVE builds in the future?

Future builds of LÖVE for Windows will have Lua separated into a DLL. LuaJIT is supposed to be ABI compatible, so you can create a JITed version of LÖVE just by replacing that DLL with the LuaJIT DLL (which I can also provide, if luaijt.org does not).

64-bit builds for Windows will appear too.

Well, you download the source, then you run:

Code: Select all

sh platform/unix/automagic
./configure --enable-luajit
make

(that is, if you have the required libs, configure will complain otherwise)

Sorry to necropost, but did this get removed? From `hg update tip`:

Code: Select all

configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-luajit

Try --with-luajit now.

It was renamed to --with-luajit a few days after his post.

Don't think I didn't see that ;)

Also,

Code: Select all

configure: error: Can't LÖVE without LuaJIT
seppi@seppi7:~/love/love_0.8.0_luajit$ sudo apt-get install luajit

How would you suggest I continue?

[Boolsheet]

Try installing the libluajit-5.1-dev package.

Try installing the libluajit-5.1-dev package.
