Re: Statically linking to Lua from multiple shared libaries

[Chris Hafey <chafey@...>]

Hi,
 I am new to Lua and don't know its internals (yet) so I don't know what dummynode means.  It does sound familiar though - I think I saw it referenced in the call stack for the crash. Can you ellaborate on what the dummynode is or point me to some documentaiton on it?  I did a quick google search but didn't find anything.  Thanks all for the quick responses!

Chris

PS - I didn't see this explicitly discussed in the Building Modules wiki page, although there are some hints.  I'll update the page once I get all the details.

This is asking for trouble.

Exactly. It's the dummynode problem.
