lua-vips and ZeroBrane

[JaiGe]

Has anyone used the lua-vips library with ZeroBrane, or does anyone know how to set it up to work with ZeroBrane? I don't know anything about linking in ZeroBrane.
I have the lua-vips installed via luaRocks, and I just copied the vips file and folder to my project. I run this code:
_vips = require "vips"

...but I am getting an error:

...ZeroBraneStudioEduPack-1.70-win32\bin\lua.exe: .\vips.lua:5: cannot load module 'libvips-42.dll': The specified module could not be found.

stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'load'
.\vips.lua:5: in main chunk
[C]: in function 'require'
...jects-Workshop\Gideros_Projects\GettingFamiliar\test.lua:5: in main chunk
[C]: at 0x00401b00
Program completed in 1.14 seconds (pid: 1796).

The libvips-42.dll file is actually in a folder (vips-dev-8.6) containing include and lib files, but I don't know how to link them for ZeroBrane to find. I entered the path in the environment variables path, but that doesn't help.
Any ideas on how to do this?

Sorry I never responded; my experience using and integrating ZeroBrane with Hammerspoon is limited to Hammerspoon/hammerspoon#1268.

Hammerspoon is a macOS application -- by the looks of the error you've posted, it looks like you're using a Windows machine... while I can't say for certain, it looks like you may need to update your package.cpath variable to include the location of the vips library before trying to require it.

Hope you found your solution or that this may point you in the right direction if you're still looking.
