The plan is to release a 'New Generation' Lua for Windows built using mingw in the next few months. LuaRocks will become even more important as the delivery channel - that is, precisely to update packages. For that, we're going to need binary rocks of various flavours for Windows, since Windows is not really build-friendly. (This is actually something that can happen sooner rather than later) The MS runtime business has been annoying us for years and hence that's part of the motivation for going for mingw - the other thing is to have a completely reproducible build environment for all the packages. steve d. _______________________________________________ Luarocks-developers mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luaforge.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luarocks-developers
