That's exactly it - they are separate cases and changes to the mingw case should not affect the MS case. mingw needs to be a distinct platform, like cygwin, which I found out by grabbing luafilesystem and getting the win32-x86 binary - which then crashed because it is linked against the MS runtime. So I'm proposing that the 'arch' variable for mingw becomes 'mingw' not 'win32' and then LR will not try to load incompatible binaries. Might be an idea to prepare a mingw binary version, like the current win32 binary - Fabio is probably hanging his head and muttering at this moment so I'll quickly say that I am happy to look after this packaging ;) steve d. _______________________________________________ Luarocks-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luarocks-developers
