Re: LuaSocket: "ip-add-membership" does not work on windows

I compiled the Luasocket 3.0-rc1 from github and that works good. It does not have that problem.

Thanks,

Thank you for the response. I look at the source of Luasocket on github and that seems to be using the correct include files (winsock2.h and ws2tcpip.h). So I have to try using luasocket after compiling it from source. The source in LuaDist may be the old one so it does not work.

Regards,

Milind

The archives might have it. Try this from 2008
