I have this issue on windows.

maybe we have old libzip version? It works locally on my debian linux with libzip 1.1.2-1.1+b1

I'm using libzip 1.5.1. It compiles fine, but when i run it i get that error.

I got it working on Travis CI. (after 2 days of trial and error) I needed to update from Trusty to Xenial. Update to Bionic was not working so I also needed to update luarocks via luarocks.

The build takes 9 minutes The ubuntu update is slow and also it needs sudo so it does not run in docker on Travis I think...

Code: Select all

        - sudo sed -i 's/trusty/xenial/g' /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update -q && sudo apt-get upgrade -y
        - sudo apt-get install -y  libzip-dev luarocks lua5.1 fakeroot 
        - luarocks install --local luarocks # update
        - luarocks install --local love-release
        - "`luarocks path --bin`" # execute the luarocks output - sets the paths for 'local' tree

Has anyone been able to get the latest version working on windows?

Hi all,

A minor version of love-release was just released that fixes a bug
occurring when byte-compiling a game. love-release tried to byte
compile every file from the project, even assets. Thanks to Benoit
Giannangeli (@giann) for reporting it.

Keep hacking!


For the sake of completion, I’m answering old messages.

I got it working on Travis CI.

If I recall correctly, my setup was inpired by:

and hererocks:

Has anyone been able to get the latest version working on windows?

I'd be interested to hear if anyone has news on this
subject. Otherwise, I guess people can just use the WLS now.

For those who had problem installing love-release, it is because it only works with an old version of luarocks. This script installs the correct version of luarocks and then installs love-release. WARNING: Uninstall luarocks before running this, as it will install it again.

I have updated love-release to use LuaRocks 3. It’s tagged v2.0.9 (I may have been presumptuous by tagging early). Have fun!

Tried to install the latest version on windows, all works well until i call love-release which says;

"entry point zip_unchange_all could not be located in dynamic link library C:\luarocks-3.0.4\win32\lua5.1\lib\lua\5.1\misterda\zip.dll"

Yeah, that was very buggy.
Hopefully, as of love-release 2.0.11 and lua-zip 0.2 (I have removed my fork), much of the bugs (if not all) are fixed, except some that are not.

Could you please test now ?

I have released love-release 2.0.16 which replaces Bitbucket links with GitHub. Thanks to Alloyed for updating loadconf to support LÖVE 11.3.
