Hi,
We currently make one change to the stock Lua5, which is to extend
"loadlib()" so that it supports dylib's under OSX. So far none of
the
included modules rely on loadlib() so that's not really an obstacle.
Just out of curiosity, what did you have to change to get loadlib to
work? I am using the dlcompat here and I think it works fine. Except,
of
course, for the damn "_" in the beginning of exported function names,
but that can be taken care of in a startup module written in Lua.
I'm not the OSX expert, but I think the reason was so that users
wouldn't have to install dlcompat.
Actually I was remembering wrong; I don't think we change the default
loadlib at all. However we have a loadlib-derived wrapper for the use
of loadmodule and gluax which are embedded in the luacheia
interpreter. Here's the wrapper code we use:
