The Lua website has announced an official patch to Lua 5.1.3 (on 7th May 2008), here:

http://www.lua.org/news.html

The fixes in Lua are fairly obscure, as described here:

http://www.lua.org/bugs.html


In the interests of staying up-to-date, I have compiled a version with the normal changes made for MUSHclient (basically, removing some deprecated options), and made a copy available here (102 Kb):

http://www.gammon.com.au/files/mushclient/lua5.1_extras/lua.5.1.3_patched.zip

The md5sum for this file is:


2f06ac6a9f7edb0fc63bd6704149a941 *lua.5.1.3_patched.zip


If you want to obtain a copy, download the above zip file, inside you will find lua5.1.dll - copy that file into the MUSHclient installation directory (the same directory that has MUSHclient.exe in it), probably:

C:\Program Files\MUSHclient

The changes from stock Lua 5.1.3 and the version above are:


  • The patches released on the Lua web site applied. This is from this file:

    http://www.lua.org/ftp/patch-lua-5.1.3

    < #define LUA_INTFRMLEN         "ll"
    ---
    > #define LUA_INTFRMLEN         "I64"
    



To compile, I used this:


make "CC=gcc -mno-cygwin" mingw
