LFS (Lua File System) library is not supported on WP8.  This is a 3rd party library (not developed by Corona Labs) which does not compile for this platform.  So, you can’t use it for the time being.

You can see what APIs/features are supported on WP8 here…

ok thanks, so how can i overcome such situation?

You can’t use the LFS library on WP8.  So, you have to avoid loading it and using it like this…

-- Load the LFS library, if it is available. local lfs = nil if (system.getInfo("platform") ~= "WinPhone") then lfs = require("lfs") end -- Only call LFS APIs if loaded. if lfs then local currentDirectory = lfs.currentdir() end
