Where to put the DLL that plugins depend on?

[cchangwen]

If put the dll and dp64 in the plugins directory together, the first loading will be successful.

However, reloading with loadplugin command will fail. I'm not sure if this is a bug.

unloadplugin MyPlugin.dp64
loadplugin MyPlugin.dp64

Could you provide the plugin (or a different plugin) that reproduces the issue)?

[cchangwen]

plugin.cpp

#include "plugin.h"
#include "lua.hpp"

bool pluginInit(PLUG_INITSTRUCT *initStruct) {
    auto L = luaL_newstate();
    lua_close(L);
    return true;
}

void pluginSetup() {
}

void pluginStop() {
}

A starter plugin that dynamically links to LuaJit.
When I moved lua51.dll to the parent directory, everything went smoothly.

Can it be explained that the working directory is plugins when the plugin is first loaded,
and when the command is executed, the working directory changes?

So there is a bug here actually, but to work around you can make a dedicated directory for your plugin:

plugins\LuaJit\LuaJit.dp64 (name must match folder)
plugins\LuaJit\lua51.dll

This way it's also cleaner because you do not need to mix files in the plugin folder.
