Re: LuaBinaries executables for msvcr80.dll?

["David Burgess" <dburgess@...>]

If you compile everything as /MT and do not use any DLLs that use
MSVCRT.LIB or Lua (compiled with /MD) then life is cool. i.e. /MT
implies a monolithic executable. /MT statically links the RTL code
(with each exectable and each DLL). It further imples that each
exe or dll will need to be linked with a lua static library.

/MT means you cannot dynamically load luasocket (or anything else)
with require(). (Actually you can, you just risk multiple copies of the
lua_code and multiple RTLs).
