7. Testing Lua

Testing the build involves the following steps:

• project configuration

• build lua/luac with some compiler

• installing lua and its dependencies

• running the tests

A script (scripts/run_test.py) is provided under to make this step more convenient. This script runs the full tests (that means without specifying -e"_U=true"), but without using ltests. These parameters can however be set using command line arguments.
