Re: Where to find luasocket (preferably binaries) for Lua 5.1.5

Hi Lorenzo,

Right; I assumed you have mingw that usually comes with bash and
similar tools that run on Windows. You actually don't need to have
that as you can download and unzip sources manually and then just run
gcc commands you see in the shell script.

Yes, you can get Windows binaries here:
https://github.com/pkulchenko/ZeroBraneStudio/tree/master/bin
(luasocket is in clibs/ subfolder).

You should be able to. I've tried with various lua environments on
windows and it worked without problems. The dlls are compiled against
lua51.dll.
