In the development directory do it
$cd src
$scons
It will build the lua module points-module.lua and the binary points. While executing, the binary points needs to find the lua module. It is done through the enviroument variable PTSPATH that can be added to .bashrc file. For example:
$ export PTSPATH=$HOME/points
The binary built is only a cli that execute the functions of lua module. During the lua code development the best way is interface using the cli of lua itself. To run the lua mudule from lua do this:
$ lua -i src/loader.lua
The loader.lua will load all necessaried files to execute Points. The lua file sequence compilation is also get from this file, in other words, if you add another file to the software it should be loaded by loader.lua file as well.
