Re: Lua 5.1 (alpha) now available

Compiling the standalone lua interpreter with mingw also shows an issue with printing to stderr. It seems that stderr is not flushed immediatly (as it happens with other Windows compilers, lcc for example). I personally added
 
  #ifdef __MINGW32__
    fflush(stderr);
  #endif

in lua.c at the end of both l_message() and print_usage().
