Hello,
I have changed the code to rename the C part lanes.core.
However, when I luarocks make my rockspec, I get a
lib\lua\5.1\lanes\core.dll, whereas I would expect
lib\lua\5.1\lanes.core.dll
Is this intentional? The module gets required just fine though.
The documentation for require() says:
The first searcher simply looks for a loader in the
package.preload<http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-package.preload>table.
The second searcher looks for a loader as a Lua library, using the path
stored at
package.path<http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-package.path>
.
The third searcher looks for a loader as a C library, using the path given
by the variable
package.cpath<http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#pdf-package.cpath>
.
The fourth searcher tries an *all-in-one loader*. It searches the C path
for a library for the root name of the given module.
But when I remove core.dll I get this output:
C:\Users\Parents\Code\lanes>lua5.1
Lua 5.1.4 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> =package.path
C:\SDK\LuaRocks\share\lua\5.1\?.lua
> =package.cpath
C:\SDK\LuaRocks\lib\lua\5.1\?.dll
> require "lanes.core"
stdin:1: module 'lanes.core' not found:
no field package.preload['lanes.core']
no file 'C:\SDK\LuaRocks\share\lua\5.1\lanes\core.lua'
no file 'C:\SDK\LuaRocks\lib\lua\5.1\lanes\core.dll'
no file 'C:\SDK\LuaRocks\lib\lua\5.1\lanes.dll'
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'require'
stdin:1: in main chunk
[C]: ?
This doesn't match what the documentation says, from which I understand
that the second searcher would search for
C:\SDK\LuaRocks\lib\lua\5.1\lanes.core.lua and the third searcher would
search for C:\SDK\LuaRocks\lib\lua\5.1\lanes.core.dll.
Did I miss something obvious?
