how to distribute a lua file with c++

I know how to do stuff with Lua states and what not but what i don't understand is how you would distribute the final program with a seperate lua file because say you have a .exe and a lua file in the same directory how would I make it so that it is all one executable like how Löve 2d uses 

copy /b

to append the lua file to the Löve 2d interpreter so it can be distributed. could someone possibly explain how this works.

many thanks Blazing

Solution

  • You could embed the lua code directly into your C++ source in a raw string literal like so:

    const auto lua_code = R"lua(
...lua code here...
)lua";
