*downloads sandboxed .love*
*merges .love into executable*
I don't see why the user would want to turn off sandboxing themselves.
But anyway, where were we... yes, symlinks... symlinks. Interesting members of society they are

You're right. I don't want security for now, I just want symlink support

What I use, it's a bit of a hack:
Code: Select all
package.path = package.path .. ";../common/?.lua"
(At the start of main.lua.)
Then you can place the shared libs in ../common/. You then only need to remember to copy the common/ directory into the game dir when distributing your game.

This is for mainly for development. The release process is different and you can not forget so much libs
