okay, so i figured out how to fix the previous problem, but this is the new issue: lua: error loading module 'brimworks.zip' from file '/usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/brimworks/zip.so': /usr/local/lib/lua/5.1/brimworks/zip.so: undefined symbol: zip_get_error stack traceback: [C]: ?

Hi ! This is a bit necroposting, but I had the exact same issue. Another solution is to install a xdg-open alternative like perl-file-mimeinfo . Most importantly, xdg-utils apps will actually call mimetype instead of file for MIME type detection, if it does not detect your desktop environment . This...

No, the script does not have to be for Lua 5.1. I wanted to stay as close to LÖVE as possible and of course, the script is should be compatible with all Lua versions.

This library only allows reading files inside zip archives. I would like to create and read zip archives, ...

Have you installed libzip ? It looks like the lua binding brimworks/lua-zip can't find a function. Do you use luarocks-5.1 ? Lua 5.1 ?

I need to write a test suite for love-release and work on the zip binding and there's so much to do and I have so little time.

You could consider other libraries for various forms of serialization (there are a few on this forum) or other efficient binary serialization format like MessagePack or Protobuf.
I like TLVs.

Hi 4aiman, There is currently no way of installing love-release without LuaRocks, because I have used functions from the LuaRocks internal API (which I have been advised not to multiple times), but the API provides a great layer of abstraction over Lua libraries (luafilesystem, luaposix, luasec, ......
