64-bit luarocks on windows? #12

Open Alloyed opened 8 years ago

Alloyed commented 8 years ago

By default, the built-in lua that luarocks provides is 32-bit. LOVE can either be 32-bit or 64-bit, so there's a chance (hi) that your LOVE game and your loverocks install have different architectures. We should probably do something about that ¯(ツ)/¯

Detect it and report an error, let the user choose if he wants to use LÖVE for 32bits or if he wants to build a 64bit version of Lua/Luarocks (dependencies?)

Which areas does this affect particularly?

Alloyed commented 8 years ago

This affects native modules: you can't use a 32-bit DLL with a 64-bit love and vice-versa.

The problem is that loverocks has no way of knowing which love.exe you want to bundle with your game (it's not a build tool), so the only possible time we could detect it is at runtime.

Maybe this is a good argument for packaging love+luarocks+loverocks into a single bundle?

Add +love-release to that last question and you got me in
