Hi,
Looking at work6 I found something I disagree.
#define LUA_ROOT "C:\\Program Files\\Lua51"
That path depends on the SO language and installation.
The "C" drive might not even exist.
I know this is "just" a default search path.
The user should edit luaconf.h and recompile lua to reflect his system.
But it's well known windows users are not compilers by nature :-)
I'm also aware of the policies of package loading: environment variables,
LUA_PATH variable redefinition, etc. But I still think a correct default
search path is important.
The concept of a LUA_ROOT blessed by the lua authors is highly needed for
unix and windows users.
But a reasonable windows solution is a little more difficult to achieve than
that.
My suggestion is not define LUA_ROOT and define LUA_PATH_DEFAULT solely as
"?.lua;?\\init.lua".
Regards,
Danilo
