They should function on Windows 7 and higher, and Windows Server +2008 and higher. + +The Linux binaries were compiled using "make generic". Lua does not use +autoconf, rather it encourages users to edit the makefile. The makefile patch +used to create the Linux binaries is in generic.patch. + +Compiling with "make generic" avoids introducing dynamic library dependencies +other than libc. This makes the binaries work on a far greater variety of Linux +distributions. + +More information on the patch process may be found in the corresponding Phabricator +issue: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T72541 + +The following copyright and license restrictions apply to these Lua binaries: + +Copyright © 2005-2011 Tecgraf/PUC-Rio and the Kepler Project. + +Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of +this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in +the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to +use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies +of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do +so, subject to the following conditions: + +The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all +copies or substantial portions of the Software. + +THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR +IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, +FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
