Which platform are you on? If you're able to get on IRC, #dataflow
on irc.freenode.net, I could try and help you get it compiled, and
hopefully make it easier for others to compile it too.I pretty much depend on the extended version (thanks to Hans) for these
things. Do your sources automatically update those things?After some discussion with Hans, we decided that as pdlua is still
changing rapidly it would be better to have pdlua as a separate
download. Hans, can you confirm that pdlua is no longer included
in the pd-extended builds?
It'll be included in the branches/pd-extended/0.41 nightly builds
once that happens, and removed from the 0.40 release. I think there
is no harm in including it the test builds, and it makes it easier to
test. But since pdlua is still changing, it shouldn't be in a release.

I think there is still an old version of pdlua in the pure-data svn
repo, if someone can remove it I'd appreciate it, either that or
convert it to an svn:external thing against the pdlua development
version:https://devel.goto10.org/svn/maximus/pdlua

also note that Pd tables are indexed from 0, unlike Lua's 1-based
indexing.I'm not sure whether to have pd.Table have 1-based indexing like
Lua or stick with the Pd-style 0-based indexing (which is what is currently implemented).How do other implementations do this? Should we look to see how
"Vessel" does it in Max? It could be one of those things that turns out to
be a "gotcha" for new users who happen to miss that these tables are 0
based, instead of the Lua 1 based...Good idea, I'll take a look.
