After my travails trying to integrate toluaxx, I'm back to my original thought that (like gettext) lua should *optionally* be included for systems that don't already have a lua package (--with-included-lua). That is, for cross-building only. Lua is already available as a package on most *nix distributions, including MacOSX ports, and easy enough for M$Windows. Indeed, toluaxx should never be included at all! It is used solely to build a _gen, and that _gen would already be compiled for cross-builds. Thus, it is never really needed in the base code.... This would also remedy the problem that for cross-builds, these two tools must be built first for the native system (just to make the _gen), and then re-built for the target system. That doesn't happen now, and looks to be difficult in the current automake system. I had proposed this in an earlier thread, but now I'm making it a separate formal proposal. It would save a lot of developer effort. _______________________________________________ Freeciv-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
