Thread:Extension talk:Scribunto/Additional binaries installation

MacOSX 10.8.4 MediaWiki 1.22alpha (8967ed3) 01:48, 13 September 2013 PHP 5.3.15 (apache2handler) MySQL 5.6.10 Lua 5.1.5 Scribunto (32bb3e2) 21:27, 9 September 2013

terminology

 * 1) does the term “Additional binaries” mean additional functionality or additional binaries in case the LuaStandalone binaries that come with Scribunto in   do not match the web server’s os?

binary source
http://luabinaries.sourceforge.net/ has:
 * LuaBinaries 5.1.4 - Release 2
 * LuaBinaries 5.2.1 - Release 1 (not compatible)

the versions i currently see in  are:
 * lua5_1_4_Win32_bin
 * lua5_1_4_Win64_bin
 * lua5_1_5_linux_32_generic
 * lua5_1_5_linux_64_generic
 * lua5_1_5_mac_lion_fat_generic


 * 1) if my os is listed above, is there a good reason to use the 5.1.4 Release 2 version from sourceforge instead of the one that comes with Scribunto’ LuaStandalone?

LuaBinaries 5.1.4 - Release 2
contains
 * bin2c5.1
 * lua5.1
 * luac5.1
 * 1) if i point the lua path to /path/to/binaries/lua5.1, are the other binary files in that directory pulled in automatically or do i need to alter a configuration?
