Port of Lua for the IBM i platform in the ILE subsystem.

![ILE Lua screenshot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/friedkiwi/lua400/master/img/ile_lua.png)


## Installation

TODO: document installation and create release artefacts
No binary releases are available yet, see *Compilation* below.

## Compilation

Prepare the source code with `./prepare.sh`, and upload the resulting ilelua.c file to your IBM i or OS/400 machine. Compile the output with the ILE C compiler.
1. Upload the source tree to your IBM i machine using e.g. SFTP
2. Edit the Makefile to contain the path for the source
3. Issue `make library` to create the LUA library to store the objects and *PGM
4. Issue `make` to build LUA/LUA
5. ???
6. PROFIT!

TODO: elaborate more

## `midrange` namespace

This version of Lua includes a `midrange` namespace with OS/400 specific functionality.

TODO: add more useful bits to the midrange namespace

TODO: properly document it.

This is a work-in-progress to allow easier interaction with ILE and IBM i
