  • Building GD

    From dotslash@21:2/108 to apam on Sat Sep 16 22:40:46 2017
    Hello Andrew,

    I found that when I try to build the latest GD (hatched out by Avon in the
    past few hours), I get the following error:

    main.c:14:17: fatal error: lua.h: No such file or directory

    Some background:

    * I get a build error on Debian 8, whilst having the following LUA dev
    packages:

    root@mysticvm:/usr/include# tree | grep lua
    ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ lua50
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ lua -> .
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ lua.h
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ””ƒ”€ƒ”€ lualib.h
    ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ lua5.1
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ luaconf.h
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ lua.h
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ lua.hpp
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ””ƒ”€ƒ”€ lualib.h
    ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ lua5.2
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ luaconf.h
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ lua.h
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ lua.hpp
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ””ƒ”€ƒ”€ lualib.h
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ lua5.1-deb-multiarch.h
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ lua5.2-deb-multiarch.h


    * When I try to build on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, it completes without error. The
    following LUA libs are available:

    ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ lua5.3
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ luaconf.h
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ lua.h
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ”œƒ”€ƒ”€ lua.hpp
    ƒ”‚A A ƒ””ƒ”€ƒ”€ lualib.h

    It seems that the build wants the dev package for Lua 5.3, unless I read the issue wrongly. Do you perhaps know what the issue could be?

    Yep, you'll have to modify the build.sh to point to the version of lua
    you have, different distros have different versions and put them in
    different places, but it should work if you hack the build script a bit.

    Ideally it would have some autotools, but I have no idea how to use that
    lol

    Sorry, I should have been more specific on which parts to change.

    There are 2 lines to change, line 13 and line 16, you should just need to change lua5.3 to lua5.2

    if that doesn't work, let me know and I'll see if i can spin up a debian
    8 vm.

    Brilliant, thanks! That did it, and it built perfectly.
