Ah, I'm the one who misread, sorry.

Yeah, compiling things from scratch is the norm for lua packages, making them really only work on linux.

Sorry if it was unclear, I constantly get cryptic gcc errors using luarocks a package manager for lua. Its years behind pip.

Pip does fail sometimes, but its not half as bad as luarocks.

The instructions don't work half the time.

Lua runs everywhere (almost), but I cannot install a uuid library on windows.

Compared to luarocks, pip is amazing.

[-] irelephant@programming.dev 2 points 11 hours ago

Lack of windows support for most luarocks modules has stopped me from writing a lot of stuff in lua.

I've been trying to get luarocks to work on windows, and all it gives is cryptic gcc errors.

How does pip manage to work on most platforms without issues?

I think piping something into aplay works, but I used a different command. I'll share it if I find it.

A while ago I found a command which would let you pipe anything (binary, text etc) into sound.

/usr/bin/ls sounded nice, /dev/random sounded like static.
