Hello there, thank you for your wonderful contribution to LOVE! I'm working on a visualizer for live music performance and I really want to get your code working so I can trigger events with my midi keyboard.

I'm trying to compile your code on OSX and face the following error:

src/luamidi.cpp:97:3: error: use of undeclared identifier 'luaL_typerror'; did you mean 'luaL_argerror'?

(There are more errors, all similar.)

Googling the error makes it seem like I might need to use Lua 5.1 instead of Lua 5.2 to compile? Unfortunately it would be difficult for me to downgrade, so that's a last resort for me. Do you think that is really the problem? If so, maybe I can learn how to port Lua 5.1 to 5.2.

EDIT: Well, the good news is I got it to compile and it seems to run fine now! The bad news is, as I suspected, I had to downgrade to Lua 5.1. Homebrew versioning is not nice these days so I uninstalled the homebrew version of Lua and compiled 5.1 myself.
