Re: Installing Lua 5.1.1 on mingw error

["chong tsong" <tsongchong@...>]

hi,

here is my solution:

* build
$ cd $LUA_DIR/src
$ make mingw
$ make luac


* install (replace /mingw with your installation directory)
$ cp lua.h luaconf.h lualib.h lauxlib.h /mingw/include/
$ cp liblua.a /mingw/lib/
$ cp lua.exe luac.exe lua51.dll $WINDIR/system32


hope it's helpful to you :-)
