Read title. A game I was playing crashed and I'd like to report the error to the developer.

You can create a custom error handler. The default one's code is in the [wiki]love.errhand[/wiki] wiki page.

...Sorry, I worded that kind of badly. I meant "my copy of a game". I edited the original post to reflect that.

If the developer of the game hasn't provided a way to copy or get the raw text of the error message somehow, then there isn't really a good way to do that yourself. A screenshot of the error screen (via printscreen or equivalent) is probably the best option.
