README for Lua-DataFilter v1.0 Windows binary package

This package contains a Windows DLL for the Lua-DataFilter package.

For more information about this Lua module, and for the source code and documentation, visit its website:

This is an experimental build, so use at your own risk. The library has been tested on a Windows XP box and on Debian unstable under Wine, and it appears to work, but this is the first time I've tried to distribute a Windows binary package, so I don't know how portable it will be.

The library was built using MingW32 as a cross-compiler on Linux. To replicate this, download the Lua-DataFilter source code, install the ‘mingw32’ Debian package (I used version 3.4.5.20060117.1.dfsg-3), and run "make win32bin". You'll also need to unpack the Lua header files into a directory called ‘include’ in the current directory, and have the Lua library DLL in the current directory as well.

This binary package was built against Lua5.1.dll from the LuaBinaries package ‘lua5_1_2_Win32_dll_lib.zip’. It may not work with other builds of Lua.
