We need to include Enrico Tassi (the Lua Debian maintainer) in this conversation. Would need to organize it so that he doesn't have to do all the work ;) Seriously, this would be a damn fine thing, because you will often hear this as a problem; Does not Play Nice with Debian. It's a stretch, because LR is cross-platform and tries to work on everything...for Windows of course life is simply a bitch (speaking as someone who spends most of his time on Windows). I'm glad we're moving to the mingw standard with LfW so that there's a stable target for binary rocks. (The existing Windows binaries in the repo are targeted at a seriously obsolete runtime that came with MSVC 2005) steve d. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
