Re: 5.1 binary compatibility flags

[Andy <shadowfirebird@...>]

Hi Antonio,

Thanks for your help.

The problem is that I downloaded the binary package from the "binaries" 
part of the web site, so I don't have a luaconf.h to look at.

You say LUA_COMPAT_GETN is not defined; but I assure you that "#" does 
not work and "table.getn" does.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Andy.
