[Question]How to build on Windows ?

[sumneko]

You could just install it in VSCode. Search Lua in Extension page, then you can see it which publisher is sumneko. If you always want to get the latest version as soon as possible, You just need to update lua files manually. Did you have other requirements for compiling your own version on Windows?

I want to try it out in sublime text via it's LSP client.

You can install it in VSCode, then copy the server folder. The way to start the service can be referred to here: https://github.com/sumneko/lua-language-server/blob/master/client/src/extension.ts

I tried with this command:

            [
                "D:/Downloads/Archives/sumneko.lua-0.9.7/extension/server/bin/lua-language-server",
                "-E",
                "-e",
                "LANG=\"en-US\"",
                "D:/Downloads/Archives/sumneko.lua-0.9.7/extension/server/main.lua"
            ],

but I failed, this is the client's log:

Please update the script manually and try again.

Thanks 👍 , that did it, I already tried to monkey-patch main.lua and set ROOT to the server path hoping to fix it, but Lua is not my cop of tea 😄 .
