The last error he reported is a problem is specific to Lanes, the current build of Lanes just runs a batch file to build it. INSTALL.BAT does not set a LUA51 variable for you, because it does not need it. To install Lanes you are going to have to set any environment variables it needs yourself.
Lua for Windows already includes Lua lanes and LuaRocks, you should consider using it if you do not want to worry about building things by hand... -- Fabio Mascarenhas On Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 9:36 PM, Hisham <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks for your reports.
