Re: [ANN] ZeroBrane Studio 0.32; now with unicode support, moai integration, and wxlua 2.8.12 upgrade

Hi Geoff,

Thank you for the feedback. It should work as you are describing, but
it may require a small tweak. ZBS puts its own libraries first to make
sure that wx.dll and other libraries it needs will not interfere if a
different version is present somewhere else in LUA_PATH/LUA_CPATH
folders. For all the applications that are started form ZBS it puts
its own libraries last, to minimize interference.

If the list of folders you get in the error message doesn't include
the folder with lsqlite3.dll, then you should try this:
LUA_CPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Lua\5.1\clibs\?.dll (note LUA_CPATH
instead of LUA_PATH).

Please include the full error message if you still have a problem with
this "require".

Yes.

You mean "static code analyzer"? ;) Fixed. Thank you.
