Error in precompiled lua script: info.lua bad chunk in precompiled chunk

[ThorQue]

Hello,

I have precompiled my lua script of the Lightroom plugin with

luac -s -o out/file_name.lua  ./file_name.lua

Then moved altogether in a folder with the suffic lrplugin. Afterwards installed into Lightroom and then I got the error:

 info.lua: bad chunk in precompiled chunk

What does this mean and what do I need to do to solve this? I am using 

Lua 5.3.5  Copyright (C) 1994-2018 Lua.org, PUC-Rio

Thanks for your help

Thorsten

Same error with

I use "luac" 5.1.4, and I don't use "-s".  Don't know if those might make a difference.

Also, I assume you've verified your plugin runs without compiling?

I have removed the -s argument and now it works. Thanks for the hint.

Glad you got it resolved. Don't know why "-s" would screw things up.
