All functions cause script to abort without error

[davisdude]

I installed lfs via luarocks 2.4.2. At first, when trying to use lfs (lua -l lfs) I had the error

C:\Program Files\lua\5.2.4\bin\lua.exe: module 'lfs' not found:
        no field package.preload['lfs']
        no file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\LuaRocks\lua\lfs.lua'
        no file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\LuaRocks\lua\lfs\init.lua'
        no file 'C:\Program Files\lua\5.2.4\bin\lfs.dll'
        no file 'C:\Program Files\lua\5.2.4\bin\loadall.dll'
        no file '.\lfs.dll'
stack traceback:
        [C]: in function '_G.require'
        [C]: in ?

After copying the .dll to C:\Program Files\lua\5.2.4\bin\, I was able to execute the command lua -l lfs, but any attempt to use the commands caused Lua to abort. Here's what I mean:

C:\Windows\System32>lua -l lfs
Lua 5.2.4  Copyright (C) 1994-2015 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> print( lfs.currentdir() )

C:\Windows\System32>

As you can see, the program is aborted without any information. I don't know if this is relevant, but the error level is -1073741819.

When did luarocks first install lfs.dll? What does luarocks --help output in CONFIGURATION section?

I'm no longer using Windows, so, unfortunately, I am unable to get that information for you.
