Windows 32 bits compilation error

[al-sabr]

After adding the luajit-2.0 src file into External/include I get this error.

2>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'lua51.lib'
1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libeay32MTd.lib'

After adding lua51.lib and libeay32MTd.lib in External/lib I get this error:

1>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'ssleay32MTd.lib'
2>LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'ssleay32MTd.lib'

After adding ssleay32MTd.lib in External/lib I get this error:

1>------ Build started: Project: MonaServer, Configuration: debug Win32 ------

What is going on here ? Why aren't the dependencies already included inside of the External folder?

You can find the right external files here : https://github.com/MonaSolutions/MonaServer2/tree/master/External (except lua for now, but following the lua compilation steps should work). We are concentrating into MonaServer2 which add many cool features so we will not update MonaServer anymore.

I tried to compile lua and it doesn't work. Why is there no video tutorial for these things it should clear things so much. I followed all procedures step by step and could not achieve it. I know that MonaServer2 is the right direction but for now It is not safe to switch to it because lots of things are still missing.

You'll find the debug files for windows x64 in attachment here : MonaServer.zip They are compiled with VS2015. If you really need to compile lua for VS2017 don't forget to :

• Use the x64 version of VS Tools for compiling
• Copy the right .h from luajit/src to External/include
• Copy lua51.lib into External/lib/lua51_64.lib
• Copy the lua51.dll file to the running directory of MonaServer

We have not enough time to build any new tutorial for now, thank you for your comprehension.
