update Lua (?)
We have a quite old version of Lua bundled with OLX. This should be updated.
I'm not exactly sure if there is any OLX specific stuff in it. Is there?
can you send me some documentation on lua so that i can learn and try it from my side.
Do you know what Lua is? http://www.openlierox.net/wiki/index.php/Lua
I'm not sure what we currently do on Linux. Check the CMake files. It might be that we already use the system Lua in those cases and not our Lua. If that is the case, we know already that we can use any other Lua version. I think @pelya has played with this.
Nice would be to try out the current Lua with the latest JIT compiler. I have heard very good reports about that. It seems to be the best available JIT compiler at the moment.
Actually, I've already updated Lua to 5.1.4 inside Gusanos sources a while ago (a year or two back), it compiled and worked without an issue. 5.1.4 is currently the latest stable release.

Ah ok, so good to know that it works. But would be nice to experiment also with that new JIT (I think it is Lua 6?)
Lua.org does not have any version 6, the newest one is Lua 5.2 alpha.

I think this is what I meant: http://luajit.org/ Check out the benchmarks for x86: http://luajit.org/performance_x86.html
So, would be quite interesting to see how OLX runs with that LuaJIT 2.0.
