Make and install

make
make install

Run the example:

cd examples
lua hello.lua # you should see the hello window.

Install luastatic using luarocks:

luarocks install luastatic

Build the mac binary:

luastatic hello.lua /usr/local/Cellar/lua/5.3.5_1/lib/liblua.5.3.dylib -I/usr/local/Cellar/lua/5.3.5_1/include/lua/

Run the newly created hello binary: ./hello.

You should see the hello application.
