Setting Up MMFI

[astrospoon]

Hey.. just downloaded MMFI for XLua, and saw that you just get mmfi.dll in the zip.

What directory do I dump the .dll into? How do I tell XLua about it so I can begin using it? Basically, how in the heck do I set it up to start using it?! The docs don't seem to mention it.

same directory the script will be in

to load it, there's a load C module action, or you could use require("mmfi") at the top of your script

EDIT: you could also put it into a subdirectory, but you'll have to provide that directory to lua... i never use the load C module action though so i don't know if it will work in this case, but if using 'require', you could use the following line as the first line in your script (or at least before your 'require' calls):

package.cpath = package.cpath .. [[;.\your_subdir\?.dll]]

even then you'd still use require("mmfi") to load it

Load C Module action is the foolproof way to load libraries because it doesn't care where you put them.
