Hi all,
I've been having trouble installing luasql-postgres on Windows (Vista) due
to a list of problems. The first 2 were related to luasql project:
1 - Compilation error due to non-standard syntax
2 - Rockspec depending on "pq" doesn't work on windows where "libpq" must
be specified.
Problem number 2 can be a shared problem (between luasql and LR) because I
don't know if it is possible to indicate different names for a dependency
based on the OS flavor.
Now comes the LR problem.
I solved the problems described above locally and it was possible to build
luasql-postgres. But then occured the runtime error:
3 - "R6034. An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime
library incorrectly. ..."
After some research, I found that this error occurs due to the lack of a
manifest which is necessary when a dll is linked against MSVCRT.lib (linker
/MD option).
LR creates a command for embedding the manifest in the resulting dll (in
"src/luarocks/build/builtin.lua") but it was not working for
luasql-postgres because the final output is not a single dll but a dll
inside a directory (luasql/postgres).
I also solved problem number 3 locally and now I'm able to use the
luasql-postgres.
I have 2 questions:
1 - How can I send my modifications to be applied to LR?
2 - Related to problem number 2. How to deal with the differences in
library search conventions in different OSs?
Best Regards
