compiling lua applications using wxluafreeze problems

Question

I am having a problem trying to compile a lua script to exe with wxluafreeze. I am typing this into cmd (all the files are in the same directory)-

wxluafreeze.lua "wxluafreeze.exe" "test.lua" "newprog.exe"

as well as

wxluafreeze.lua wxluafreeze.exe test.lua newprog.exe

but it keeps spitting out the text that tells you how to use wxluafreeze (ie, the text that appears when you input no arguments). I have never compiled a lua script to an executable before, so I am kind of lost. What am I doing wrong?

What version of lua are you using? – Etan Reisner Aug 14 '14 at 02:42 — Etan Reisner, Aug 14 '14 at 02:42

For example in MSW in the wxLua\bin dir(you need copy "wxluafreeze.lua" to this dir for convenience): lua.exe wxluafreeze.lua wxluafreeze.exe myprogram.wx.lua myprogram.exe

the spelling should adjust to the local file name, eg: the "wxluafreeze.exe" is "wxLuaFreeze.exe" in my disk. what else, when I process this cmd, it pops up an error that the open files mode is invalid in line 87 of wxluafreeze.lua. Then I removed the operator "+" and processed it again, the exe file came out. hope this may help you – YxxY Jul 21 '16 at 00:56
