Yes, I have. The problem is not compatibility between edje and lua. The problem is that there is no .pc file in the lua source. These stupid developpers answered me that they want to reduce the number of files in their tarball when i asked why there is no .pc file. Do you believe it ?? On linux distro, package maintainers usually add a .pc file. Well, there is several solutions: 1) as you said, write your own .pc file and put it in the correct directory. (that's what i do for Windows) 2) i can add a check of lua library in edje's configure.ac if no .pc file is found. I'll try to find some time to improve lua check this week best regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
