Hey hey
When building vis with lua 5.3, the lua integration does not seem to
work for me even though vis compiles without issues.
$ make
cc -DCONFIG_LUA=1 -DCONFIG_SELINUX=0 -DCONFIG_ACL=0 -I/usr/include/

I investigated it somewhat. It is the lua_pcall at vis-lua.c:666 (!) that
fails when loading a file (in the lua runtime) by throwing the following
error.
/home/silvan/build/vis/lexers/themes/default-256.lua:23: attempt to index a
nil value (local 'lexers')
the local 'lexers' variable should be initialized in the first non-comment
line of the default-256.lua (solarized.lua) file which does not seem
to work.
Has anyone used vis successfully with lua 5.3? Does anyone know what's
going wrong or should I invest more time to figure it out (I have a hunch
people more familiar with lua will find the issue much faster than me)?
Cheers,
Silvan
