Homework 4

Homework 4 will touch on many topics we’ve discussed in class.

You will install a minimal version of minux in virtualbox, get a c compiler up and running, download the lua source code inside of minux, modify the makefiles to get lua to compile and install, and then write a simple lua script.

Below are some resources:

• Installling clang, etc.
• If you have problems getting the networking up these resources might be useful
• Lua Release 5.1

Submission Guidelines

In minix to submit:

curl http://static.thatmattbone.com/submit.sh > submit.sh
chmod +x submit.sh
./submit.sh <location_to_lua> <your_name>

Pass the location to lua as the first parameter (i.e. /usr/local/bin/lua) and your name separated by underscores as the second (i.e. matt_bone).
