How can I load third party dll?

Dear Gammon,
I'm facing a problem when loading a third party dll name "luaiconv.dll", which provides encoding/decoding chars functions.

I can run it smoothly in command line in windows via Lua.exe.

When I load my Lua script,It can't find the module.

local iconv = require("luaiconv")
local cd = iconv.new("utf-8","gbk")
local words, err = cd:iconv(text)

There are 3 dlls: luaiconv.dll,iconv.dll,charset.dll .I tried to place them in these folders:1) same folder of the Lua script 2.root path of mush client
3) lua 5.1\clibs

But all failed.

Could you please help this ?

Thanks a lot.

Provide a link to these dlls, please, along with another link to the project page. We don't want to hunt all over the internet looking for something that may or may not be what you're trying to use.

The homepage of luaiconv is http://ittner.github.io/lua-iconv/

The dlls I downloaded is from a chinese developer web site,but I don't think you can download it directly.

I can send you email and attach them.

Please provide your email address if possible.

Thanks a lot.

The project page says

But you are doing


If using iconv instead of luaiconv still doesn't work, please share the files with a service like https://nofile.io/

Please download it by the following link:

Thanks.

I just put those dlls in my mushclient folder and ran


And it worked fine for me.

I assume your operating system is in Chinese and not English? Maybe that affects path searching.

yes .It is Chinese Windows
I will try it in English

If switching the OS to English works, please let us know. That might be fixable in MUSHclient.

Sorry,I have no pure English Windows OS currently.
I tried utf8/gbk for lua script self.
And nothing changes.
It seems mushclient loaded or found dll successfully,but can't load
module 'luaiconv' successfully.

Do you have MSVCR100.DLL? I notice luaiconv.dll requires it.

For me,

I get the same with

Hi,
A good news is that I can load this dll as you did.

I copied all the files in the Lua installed folder to the folder of MushClient and it works.

The bad news is that I don't know why it works now.

I think there are some relative files in the Lua installed folder that MuschClient missing.

The output is :
"ERROR_NO_MEMORY"=1
"ERROR_INCOMPLETE"=3
"iconv"=function: 05AC4C30
"VERSION"="luaiconv r5"
"ERROR_INVALID"=2
"ERROR_UNKNOWN"=4
"open"=function: 05AC1330
"new"=function: 05AC4C50

I don't think I even have a Lua install.
Can you pin down which file or files fixed it?
