Statically linking luasocket

[Issac Trotts <issac.trotts@...>]

Hi all,


The installation instructions for luasocket describe how to install it
as a dynamic library.  For my application, it would be preferable
to just compile luasocket in statically, but this only half
working.  I had to change a couple of headers:


--- mime.h      2005-01-15 14:52:38.000000000 -0800

+++ mime.h.new  2005-10-19 22:35:46.000000000 -0700

So now it compiles, but here's where I'm stuck.  I added these lines to my lualibs array:

    {"lsocket",luaopen_lsocket},
    {"lmime", luaopen_lmime},

however when I run the program, lsocket and lmime are both nil, but socket and mime are defined:

lua> print(lsocket)
nil
lua> print(lmime)
nil

lua> table.foreach(socket,print)

b64     function: 0x2155270
qpwrp   function: 0x2153a50
qp      function: 0x2155340

The socket table here is incomplete though.  In particular, the try() function is missing from `socket', so I can't use the http module.  So, why did it rename lsocket to socket?  Is there a recommended way to statically link with luasocket?

Thanks,
Issac
