Re: [Pipmak-Users] Linked libraries

[A T. <wgs...@ya...>]

 I don't know for sure if it's physfs or not, but I tried doing some of the same things that caused the proble, with the mouse before (like moving from node to node, and clicking on handles), and it behaved fine.

 And lua 4, 5, and 5.1, and physfs are available from the Debian etch repositories, but i don't know about other distributions, so I guess it's best to be safe.

Thanks,
Aidan

Are you sure that's caused by Physfs? I have no idea why that would have 
anything to do with it...

No specific reason. I just assumed that Lua and Physfs were less likely 
to be available as packages from a distribution than SDL and the other 
dependencies. Plus they're easy to build without having to install them 
and link in statically.

If you have Lua 5.0.x, I don't think so. Lua 5.1 has some small changes 
in the language, but I assume it should work as well. For the official 
release I've deferred updating to it until version 0.3, when backwards 
compatibility can be broken.
