Lua can't find socket on Windows #5

Closed emsenn closed 1 year ago

emsenn commented 1 year ago

Tried getting this all set up on my partner's Windows laptop so I can help non-Linux users get started collaborating. got pretty far! But ran into issues during the final stretch: When i try and make marmud, it errors at making a thing based off mud/server, because it can't find the socket module.

I see now that the Makefile even says to change usocket.o to wsocket.o but I guess I don't quite know how to rewrite a Makefile to let me do "make tab-winbin" which I guess would be the desired solution to this problem?

Also thinking about it - and playing with it - I'm not sure if that's the answer when using Windows Subsystems for Linux, like I've done.

Using Luarocks to install luasocket got me there, so I'm gonna go ahead and close this; if folk run into failure again they can open a new issue.
