This is a fork of https://github.com/dminor/lua-shapelib
Lua bindings for the for the Shapelib (http://shapelib.maptools.org/) library for working with shapefiles.
The interface for shapefiles allows the shape handle to be indexed to retrieve objects in the shapefile. The interface for dbf files follows the C API closely.
See the examples folder for usage.
Firstly, make a file called Tools.ini which should look something like the following:
[NMAKE]
LUA_INCLUDE = C:\lua-5.1.5\include
LUA_LIB = C:\lua-5.1.5\bin\lua51.lib
Then run nmake /f makefile.vc from the Visual Studio dev command prompt.
