Cocos2d-x using compiled lua script doesn't work on Android

Question

I've been trying to make the HelloLua example to work in Android. It works if the hello.lua is not in compiled form using luac. But if I compile the hello.lua and upload it in my Android phone, it just gives me a black screen. Can anyone help me out in this?

This is the code in the AppDelegate::applicationDidFinishLaunching()

#if (CC_TARGET_PLATFORM == CC_PLATFORM_ANDROID)
    CCString* pstrFileContent = CCString::createWithContentsOfFile("hello.lua");
    if (pstrFileContent)
    {
        pEngine->executeString(pstrFileContent->getCString());
    }
#else
    std::string path = CCFileUtils::sharedFileUtils()->fullPathForFilename("hello.lua");
    pEngine->addSearchPath(path.substr(0, path.find_last_of("/")).c_str());
    pEngine->executeScriptFile(path_c_str());
#endif

Seems that compiled lua works when I'm running in Windows but not in Android.

Answer 1

The man page for luac says that "Precompiled chunks are not portable across different architectures".
