Can someone compile for MS Windows pls? (solved)

Post by togFox »

Love v12.0 has https which I really want to get into and experiment with. This page: https://love2d.org/wiki/lua-https has this text:
Compile From Source

While lua-https will be bundled in LÖVE 12.0 by default, it's possible to compile the module from source and use it on earlier version of LÖVE. Grab the source code at https://github.com/love2d/lua-https. All compilation requires Lua 5.1 (or LuaJIT) headers and libraries available.
Windows
Compilation is done using CMake.
I don't have a dev environment and I've never used CMake. Is there anyone here that can get the source from https://github.com/love2d/lua-https and provide a dll? I'm guessing that's the next challenge. The forum won't take a dll. PM won't either? Zip it and email to togfox@gmail.com?

Thanks.

The love CI module creates builds every time a commit is made, these can be downloaded if you want to try out love 12.

You can go to https://github.com/love2d/love/actions? ... ntegration and select the most recent one marked 12.0-development that built and then scroll down to artefacts to get binaries for all systems it builds for.

This would be all love 12 rather than a dll that could extend love 11 but it might be enough to have a play around with the new https functions.

You can also download the standalone version of the lua-https library from https://github.com/love2d/lua-https/actions , if you're logged into github.

Got it. Thanks. Had to hunt for that a bit - not a github pro (or fan). Will enjoy more learning. :)
