Hi, I want to compile my lua files to LuaC (myfile.luac). I'm using the Scite for compiling Lua. I haven't started until now, I heard, that I cannot compile my lua files to a 64 bit binary luaC file on a 32 bit system. So how can I compile lua to 32 bit and 64 bit luaC on a 32 bit system, windows xp?

Btw, are there any tipps for using Luac? And, can my files be decompiled? I hope not ...

A: 

About the 32- vs 64-bit issue, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3725291/lua-64-bit-transitioning-issue/3729403#3729403 .

Precompiled Lua scripts can be (partially) decompiled. See http://luaforge.net/projects/luadec51/ .

What kind of tips do you have in mind?

Hi and thanks for the answer.

Tips like making the code more secure, so that it wont be decompiled, or which advantages there are with compiled files.

And sorry, but I'm not a good coder. My Lua code is nice but I still do not know how to compile to 32bit and 64bit bytecode on a 32bit system. I don't really understand the mails in this mailing list.
