Hello,
I retrieved love2d 11.3 on windows 10 and it runs well.
On windows 10, I also have the full msys2 / mingw64 system which brings lua 5.4 (native windows build - mingw64) and luaJIT.
I do not understand well yet how love2d interacts with the mingw64 lua installation :
- does love2d needs either lua5.4 or luaJIT executables at run time ? but it seems love2d only supports lua 5.1
- how to do when I need a special lua package ? I configured luarocks to install for lua 5.4
Regards

Love already have anything you need inside it's folder

@Deb75 are you wanting to use Luarocks to manage LUA MODULES for your LOVE project?
Theres a chance that LOVE2D doesn't interact with your mingw64 lua installation, and instead uses an embedded version of LUA like GVovkiv said.

ok
Re: love2d and lua installation on windows 10
Thanks all for your kind answeers.
It seems indeed lua embeds lua 5.1. In the zip archive of lua 11.3 there is the lua51.dll file.
I was wondering how to use an external package, e.g. luasocket (but this one seems already available within love2d), with love2d.

@GVovkiv Because if you don't talk right, you mess other people up.
Good thing Deb75, have fun.

Love 2D has lua socket already but you need to REQUIRE it like you would for any external module.

Re: love2d and lua installation on windows 10
It's often discouraged to use LuaRocks module in LOVE due to portability reasons. If you can find LuaJIT FFI binding equivalent of certain libraries then you can use that instead.
Or if it's something trivial then it's easy to write your own.

Yeah, we all get he was being rude, but responding to his off-topic comments with more off-topic commends doesn't help the conversation.
