Jean-Louis's email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] (two l's) However, we are maintaining the package together, so I may pick up the call, too. :)
Lua 5.1.1 is being reviewed by the Lua authorities, and that version I can affect (not Lua 5.0, that is all Jean-Louis's). New package splitting is like this (comments in lua51.info): # Packages: # lua The binary 'lua' (well, symbolic link); does not guarantee which Lua version one gets # (mainly for playing with the interpreter, and for 'package compatibility') # lua51-dev Lua development headers; conflicts with any other development versions # lua51-bin The binary 'lua51' (Lua 5.1.x) interpreter, can co-exist with other Lua versions # lua51-shlibs Lua 5.1 shared libraries, can co-exist # lua51-sdl-bin Same as 'lua51' but with Cocoa initialization, allowing SDL Module to be used I don't remember the Lua 5.0 split, but there's definately more packages here, now. To me, this way does make sense. "lua" (lua51-bin) is linking to the Lua sources statically, and is still not dragging lua51-shlibs with it (and, it shouldn't...) "lua51-dev" is the development headers, and that _does_ drag "lua51- shlibs" with it, essentially solving your case? We can discuss the split, and I can take you in testing Lua packaging for the future. Would you like that? :) -asko Bjarni Corfitzen kirjoitti 7.12.2005 kello 23.05: > I sent this message to the lua package maintainer: > " > I worked all night on problems porting an app to OSX, that relies > on lua and in the end it turned out that the problem was that fink > did not install lua-shlibs when installing lua.
