His build system isn't the problem, he manages to build working DLLs for standalone Lua. And doesn't QTCreator use the same toolchain anyway (MinGW)?

I build it with lua5.1.4.

http://wiki.qt.io/Mingw:
"There are actually different MinGW toolchains and packages available:
MinGW.org is the original project. The latest version gcc 4.7.2. It only compiles for 32 bit binaries.
MinGW-w64 is a fork with the original aim to also support generation of 64 bit binaries. By now it also supports a much larger part of the Win32 API. The MinGW-w64 project does host several different binary packages, done by different people.
There are binary installers targetting MinGW for both Qt 4 and Qt 5. Up to Qt 4.8.6, Qt 4 ones are built with a MinGW.org toolchain using gcc 4.4. Newer Qt 4.8 binary packages ship with a mingw-w64 based toolchain. For Qt 5, a newer MinGW-w64 toolchain is actually required."
(I mean that MinGW-w64 improves not only 64-bit stuff)
I've thought Code::Blocks is outdated somehow and MinGW too.
@dracula004: Are you sure you need cpp and not plain c for your library?

As same with the luamidi:
https://github.com/dwiel/luamidi, it built with g++ 8 years ago,works well in love2d today.

I tried the alien lib for lua. And the same, works well in standalone lua, but crashed in love2d...
here is the project files:
- test.7z
- (15.6 KiB) Downloaded 100 times
when I run main.lua in love2d, it crashes.
when I run lua_script.lua in standalone lua, it works well.

Can you post the error that is given in the console? Or does LOVE really crash?
Can you post the C/C++ source? That would be really helpful for us to help you.

I downloaded the source before (and just now) and there are no c or c++ files in there. Can you post the C/C++ source (not just lua) The .dll file is not really any help.
