Thank you very much!  That’s great.  Anyone else got any suggestions for the remaining dlls? i.e.

 

•         MD5 dlls (core.dll and des56.dll)

•         MIME dll (core.dll)

•         ODBC dll (core.dll)

•         Windows Sockets dll (core.dll)

•         SQLite3 dll (lsqlite3.dll)

 

I sort of assume that I’ll need to get LuaRocks working to build these, but I have not had a lot of luck with that.  There’s only one YouTube video on installing LuaRocks underWindows, and the guy who made it says that the only way he managed to get it to work was to install Linux (Ubuntu) under Windows as a subsystem, and install LuaRocks within that.  I haven’t tried that and am not keen to do so, so if anyone can give me some tips on a simpler way of doing it, that would be much appreciated.

 LuaCom and LuaFileSystem you can find in the Tools package in IUP downloads.

 

Best,

I have a Windows desktop application (build using Visual Studio 2022) which uses Lua 5.3 for embedded scripting.  The application is currently 32-bit, but I want to port it to 64-bit.   My application uses a large number of Lua modules and Lua DLLs.  I need new 64-bit, Lua 5.3 versions of all of the Lua DLLs.  I have already found the code modules I need for CD, IM and IUP (thank you Antonio Scuri!).  These are available https://sourceforge.net/u/scuri/profile/ in case anyone is wondering.  However, there are numerous DLLs I’m still missing – specifically:

 

·         MD5 dlls (core.dll and des56.dll)

·         MIME dll (core.dll)

·         ODBC dll (core.dll)

·         Windows Sockets dll (core.dll)

·         Lua File System dll (lfs.dll)

·         SQLite3 dll (lsqlite3.dll)

·         Luacom dll (luacom.dll)

 

If anyone can point me to a location where I can get 64-bit/Lua 5.3 versions of these, I would be hugely grateful.  I have already spent a lot of time on this and have been getting nowhere. 

 

Please note that as well as the DLLs needing to be 64-bit, and Lua 5.3 compatible, they must also use a runtime library that is compatible with my application (i.e. they must either link to VCRUNTIME140.DLL – or at least not be linked to an old, incompatible MSVC runtime).

 

If the answer is that  I need to build these DLLs myself, please can anyone suggest where I can get detailed instructions on how to do that.  I have been trying to do this using LuaRocks but getting nowhere.  If the answer is that I do need to use LuaRocks (for some of the DLLS at least), I have further questions about that:

 

·         Do I need to use a 64-bit, Lua 5.3 version of LuaRocks if I am using it to build 64-bit/Lua 5.3 DLLs? 

·         If so, can anyone point me to instructions on how to do that?  The LuaRocks instructions for installation under Windows (https://github.com/luarocks/luarocks/wiki/Installation-instructions-for-Windows) includes an all-in-one package for Windows, but it is based around Lua 5.1 and x86.  Can this be made to work for my purposes?  If so, what do I need to do?

·         There is  a 64-bit version of LuaRocks’ executables (luarocks.exe and luarocks-admin.exe, in a zip file called “luarocks-3.9.2-windows-64.zip”).  Can anyone offer advice on how you’re supposed to use these?  I couldn’t find any documentation on that.

 

Many thanks
