Re: lua 5.2.2 - lua socket 2.1 module load crash

Thanks Geoff

I'm sorry, but I couldn't figure it out in the end. Here's what I've done so far

compiled lua as dll: (set #define LUA_BUILD_AS_DLL), "import library" set to lua52.lib

compiled luasocket with lua52.dll and lua52.lib

now lua interpreter asks for lua52.dll when I type "local socket = require("socket.core")"

when I put lua52.dll near the exe, I receive the same multiple lua vms detected error.

I guess I'm doing something blatantly wrong here but couldn't figure it out.

This is a popular mistake to make.  You've probably linked luasocket to the static lua library, not the dll/lua import library.  Have a look at
