Re: PATCH: Lua 5.1 advanced readline support

["Pimmel, Keith" <Keith.Pimmel@...>]

Hi Mike,

I just wanted to give a confirmation that the patch works beautifully on
cygwin.

For the record, my compile flags for cygwin (for operating in cygwin,
with dynamic library loading) follow:

I use the default posix target and modify as such:
posix:
	$(MAKE) all MYCFLAGS="-DLUA_USE_POSIX -DLUA_USE_READLINE
-DLUA_USE_DLOPEN" MYLIBS="-lreadline -lhistory -lncurses"


As for the command-line junkies, I wish I had discovered this patch a
long time ago; I used lua as my primary post-processing tool for a ton
of numeric text data (as well as using it to reformat it into binary
data files for professional post-processing results), and I was
constantly inside the interpreter checking my scripts. Thanks again for
a wonderful addition to the interpreter.
 
yrs,
Keith
