RE: LuaBinaries executables for msvcr80.dll?

["Antonio Scuri" <scuri@...>]

  Hehehe, the ideia is great. But I don't think that LuaForge has the
resources to do that.

  Anyway, there are two free compilers that can be used:

Mingw -> msvcrt.dll
Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition -> msvcr8.dll

  Since LuaForge is a UNIX system the work will be complicated because of
Visual C++. And I think that the Visual C++ license is for personal use
only.


  It just came to my mind now. Should we explicit name the LuaBinaries DLLs
as they are using different RTLs? For example: 

lua51.dll -> msvcrt.dll (build with vc6 or mingw)
lua51rt8.dll -> msvcr8.dll (build with vc8)

  Today the two dlls have the same name and can not coexist in the same
system.

Best,
scuri
